Mann has played in Charlotte’s last four games following a two-game absence with an injury to the same ankle. Collin Sexton and Sion James would likely take on a few extra minutes if Mann is unavailable.

With LaMelo Ball (14/2/5 with one three-pointer) struggling with foul trouble and under a minutes restriction, Sexton gave the Hornets valuable minutes off the bench. Shooting over 50 percent from the field, the veteran guard recorded a complete stat line and helped lead the way as Charlotte outscored Toronto by a 24-17 margin in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Sexton hasn’t been the most reliable fantasy option, but Ball’s injury history makes him worth holding onto in deep leagues.

After a stellar performance in Friday’s win over the Bulls, Miller played the second game of Charlotte’s home back-to-back. While the poor shooting was problematic, more concerning for fantasy managers was Miller exiting during the third quarter after appearing to aggravate his left shoulder injury. While he did return later in the quarter, the Hornets forward did not seem to be all that comfortable. The Hornets begin a four-game Week 7 in Brooklyn on Monday, but they won’t have any back-to-backs. Hopefully, Miller will be available for all four contests.

Bridges wasn’t too thrilled with the performances of either himself or his teammates in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. He’s backed up the words that followed that blowout loss with actions, totaling 57 points in wins over the Bulls and Raptors. Saturday’s 35 points were a season high for the athletic forward, who has four 30-point games to his name in 2025-26. Bridges and the Hornets play four games in Week 7, starting with the Nets on Monday.

After totaling 18 points on 7-of-26 shooting in his previous two games, Knueppel got back on track Saturday night. The rookie has scored at least 20 points in ten of his 19 appearances, and that production has placed Knueppel among the best rookies in the NBA, if not at the top of that list. Given the recent injury issues for LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, Knueppel boasts a high ceiling in redraft leagues. The Hornets play four games during Week 7, starting with the Nets on Monday.

This will be a second straight absence for Porziņģis, which will mean another start for Onyeka Okongwu. OO has been elite as a starter and will once again be set up for a big night. Mouhamed Gueye should also see a few extra minutes as the backup center.

Mann was listed as probable on the second night of the back-to-back, and now he has officially been cleared to suit up. He’ll occupy his typical role off the bench, which hasn’t been enough time for him to make an impact on the box score with LaMelo Ball and Collin Sexton available.

Young is dealing with an MCL sprain in his right knee. It was reported that he’d be re-evaluated in four weeks at the beginning of the month, but now it’ll be another two weeks before there’s an update on the 27-year-old point guard’s health. While Young was able to avoid an ACL injury and any structural damage to his knee, he’s set to miss a solid portion of the season.

Mann popped up on the injury report Saturday afternoon as probable with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard missed multiple games last week due to the injury, but has played in the last three Hornets games. Mann figures to suit up again Saturday given his probable listing, but he still doesn’t offer much fantasy value in a bench role.

Connaughton hurt his calf last week against the Clippers and hasn’t played since. The 32-year-old shooting guard is set to miss his fourth consecutive game against the Raptors on Saturday. As a reserve, his absence doesn’t significantly impact fantasy basketball.

Bridges had one of his better statistical performances of the season in this one. He matched his season high for assists and approached triple-double territory. Bridges is currently averaging career highs in both points and three-pointers, and the volume of triples has helped to offset the worst field goal percentage of his career. That wasn’t an issue in this game, which resulted in one of his best games of the year.

Sexton has been at his best this season as part of the starting lineup, but he was able to reach 20 points as a reserve for the first time this season in this one. He has been an excellent addition for Charlotte and has been a consistent source of offense when given the opportunity. Still, Sexton’s best games will continue to come when he is able to start, so don’t expect nights like this often.

This was only Miller’s fifth appearance this season, but he has been fantastic when he has suited up this year. This game featured new season-highs for minutes, points, blocks and three-pointers and resulted in Charlotte’s fifth win of the season. Miller’s injuries over the last two seasons have been frustrating, but if he can stay on the floor moving forward, he will be worth the wait.

NAW has been an incredible fill-in for Trae Young (knee) this season, and he showed why once again in this game. This was his eighth game this season with at least 20 points, and he has more than doubled his scoring average from last season. In previous seasons, NAW had been more of a defensive specialist, but he has been getting it done on both ends of the floor this year. Even when Young returns, NAW should still maintain standard-league value.

Coming off his worst performance of the season in a blowout loss to the Wizards, Johnson was able to respond in a big way. His second triple-double of the season also featured his second-best mark for both points and assists this year. Johnson has been a fantasy superstar this year, and the return of Trae Young (knee) shouldn’t drop his production significantly.
ATL • G • #5

Daniels was able to provide his typical dose of swipes, but the offensive production has been more notable. Scoring isn’t going to be a strength for him consistently, but the playmaking is absolutely something that will stick, at least until Trae Young (knee) returns. Young is supposed to be re-evaluated soon, which should provide more clarity to when he’ll be back in the lineup. Until then, Young should have more opportunities on offense.

With Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined, Okongwu will unsurprisingly return to the starting lineup. He has been excellent in seven starts this year, averaging 20 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.9 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers per game.

Porziņģis was a late addition to the injury report and has now officially been ruled out. Onyeka Okongwu should once again return to the starting lineup, where he has had plenty of success this season. Mouhamed Gueye will likely fill out the backup center minutes, though Okongwu will play most of the center minutes.

Porzingis is a late addition to the injury report, so he should be considered highly questionable to take the court against the Cavs. If KP is sidelined, Onyeka Okongwu could rejoin the starting five in his place.

Wednesday’s game qualifies as Knueppel’s worst as a pro. The rookie shot 0-of-7 from beyond the arc and made one shot apiece in the first and fourth quarters. The good news for fantasy managers is that nights like Wednesday have not been the norm for Knueppel, who remains the most productive rookie in this current class. He’ll look to bounce back when the Hornets face the Bulls on Friday in both teams’ NBA Cup finale.

Bridges had a rough night at the foul line, and he did not record any defensive stats, either. Despite limited defensive production, the veteran forward is still providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. As long as Bridges avoids a late-season shutdown, he should remain a reliable option for managers needing scoring at the forward positions.

Miller led the way for the Hornets, shooting 4-of-9 from beyond the arc. The nature of Wednesday’s game, which the Knicks won 129-101, meant he got some extra time on the bench, with the Hornets already eliminated from the NBA Cup. However, his 28 minutes were two more than his total in Saturday’s loss to the Clippers. Miller can be a valuable fantasy option when playing without restrictions, so fantasy managers must be patient as he works to improve his conditioning.

Kalkbrenner (ankle) returns from a one-game absence to reclaim his spot in the Hornets’ starting rotation. As a result, veteran center Mason Plumlee will head back to the bench. Likewise, Ball (ankle) is available after missing the Hornets’ loss on Sunday to the Hawks. Charlotte has lost nine of its last 10 games and will look to end its current six-game losing streak.

Despite not recording any defensive stats, Daniels provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, he has been a seventh-round player in 12-team, nine-cat formats, ranking just outside the top-75. While Trae Young’s absence has not boosted Daniels’ fantasy value to the heights some hoped, he’s been better than he was at the start of the season. The Hawks play games on Friday and Sunday to end Week 6.

Unsurprisingly, Okonwgu’s return to the bench did not negatively impact his fantasy value. He’s scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven appearances, providing top-15 value in nine-at formats during this stretch. While some fantasy managers may be tempted to sell high, a better course of action may be to hold onto him. Not only should Okongwu’s production be considered, but also the injury history of starter Kristaps Porziņģis.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Hornets, Porziņģis was one of the few Hawks to play well in Tuesday’s blowout defeat. Despite having just five games with at least 20 points, he’s closing in on top-25 value in nine-cat formats. Increased assist production has been a factor, with Porziņģis averaging a career-high 3.3 helpers per game. The Hawks still have two games to play after Thanksgiving, but the second is part of a Sunday/Monday back-to-back.

After playing 24 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans, Kennard did not play in Sunday’s win over the Hornets. His absence coincided with Keaton Wallace’s return, and the point guard absorbed most of the minutes that would have gone to Kennard. Look for that to be the case if Kennard can’t play on Tuesday, but neither player needs to be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

One month into the season, and Knueppel has a strong case for being the league’s best rookie. He had another excellent night on Sunday, hitting a season-high seven three-pointers and shooting over 50 percent from the field. While Charlotte lost both games of its weekend back-to-back, Knueppel put up 54 points and shot 13-of-20 from three. He’s closing in on top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, outperforming his Yahoo! ADP (142) by a significant distance. Charlotte has three games in Week 6, starting with the Knicks on Wednesday.

With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) unavailable, Sexton was one of the replacements in the Hornets’ starting lineup. The final stat line was solid, but the veteran guard did not offer much value beyond the points and assists. By now, experienced fantasy managers have a clear understanding of what they’re getting when they roster Sexton. The Hornets’ three-game Week 6 includes a back-to-back, so there may be another opportunity for Sexton to start in the near future. Sion James started in place of Miller, and the rookie finished with seven points, six rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer.

While Bridges did record a complete stat line in Atlanta, it had the potential to be even better. The Hornets forward shot 1-of-8 from beyond the arc. Since going on a run of six straight games with at least two three-pointers, Bridges went 1-of-10 in losses to the Clippers and Hawks. However, he’s still averaging a career-high 2.9 three-pointers per game, which is one reason Bridges has been a third-round player in nine-cat formats. The Hornets play three games during Week 6, starting with the Knicks on Wednesday.

Since the Hawks lost Trae Young to a knee injury on October 29, Alexander-Walker has scored at least 20 points on seven occasions, including Sunday night. He has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats since making his first start on Halloween, a solid return for many fantasy managers. Alexander-Walker is rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number may creep up a bit due to the Hawks being active on a three-game Tuesday to open their Week 6 schedule.

Since scoring 18 points in consecutive games to begin November, Daniels averaged 8.3 points per game on 44.7 percent shooting from the field. While others have benefitted immensely from Trae Young’s (knee) absence, Daniels’ fantasy value has not received a significant boost. However, he had his most productive game of the season on Sunday, recording his first 20-point game while also providing solid value in the rebound, assist and steals categories. Daniels is providing sixth-round value in nine-cat formats, which may be a letdown for some, given how impactful he was last season.

Johnson once again flirted with a triple-double, finishing two rebounds shy of the feat against the Hornets. Sunday’s performance certainly ranks among his most impressive this season, as the versatile forward dropped a robust stat line without committing a turnover. Johnson has taken advantage of the increased opportunities to serve as a primary playmaker since Trae Young went down with a knee injury, providing first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. And Tuesday’s matchup with the Wizards looks like another good one for Johnson.

Available after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Pelicans with left ankle inflammation, Okongwu started for Kristaps Porziņģis and played 34 minutes. While there weren’t any defensive stats to speak of, Okongwu recorded a solid overall stat line and did not experience any setbacks with the ankle. Despite coming off the bench when Porziņģis is available, Double-O is closing in on top-50 value in nine-cat formats while averaging nearly 30 minutes per game. The Hawks play three games in Week 6, starting with the Wizards on Tuesday.

Porziņģis eclipsed the lofty 30-point plateau for the first time in his Hawks debut and continues to remind everyone that, when healthy, he’s one of the league’s most uniquely impactful two-way centers thanks to his three-point range and rim-protecting prowess. The 30-year-old, who has been dealing with a lingering knee issue recently, caught fire in the second quarter, hitting five of six shots and scoring half his total during that burst. He remains the ultimate X-factor for Atlanta’s intriguing young core — the kind of matchup-warping piece who can swing an entire playoff series come spring.
