Salaun was recalled from the Hornets’ G League affiliate but will not play on Thursday due to a sprained right ankle. His absence will only impact fantasy basketball if the Hornets are forced to play without Miles Bridges. Bridges is probable for Thursday’s game with an illness.

Garrett, who agreed to a 10-day contract on March 12, is dealing with a lower back issue. He was solid in 24 minutes against the Hawks on Tuesday, but that was with Miles Bridges unavailable. If Bridges can play against the Knicks, Garrett’s chances of getting the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball are slim.

Diabate suffered what appeared to be a serious right leg injury during Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks. However, the fact that he’s considered questionable for Thursday night means he likely dodged a bullet. If Diabate cannot play against the Knicks, Jusuf Nurkic will likely see more time after logging 17 minutes in Tuesday’s defeat.

Ball is coming back from a wrist injury that kept him out of Tuesday’s game against the Hawks. Bridges also sat out Tuesday, but it was just a rest day. Both of the Hornets’ stars are expected to return Thursday given their probable listings.

Curry moved into the starting lineup on Tuesday, as the Hornets were without Miles Bridges. The veteran guard had a good night shooting the ball, as he made over 50 percent of his attempts from the field and connected on four three-pointers. Curry is primarily a points and three-pointers option in category leagues, and nights like Tuesday have not been the norm for him this season. Fantasy managers can afford to leave Curry on the waiver wire.

Baugh was recalled from the G League to start for LaMelo Ball, who sat out Tuesday’s game with a right wrist injury. Baugh’s rebound and assist production was solid, and he’ll be worth streaming whenever Ball misses games. Given how long LaMelo has been dealing with the wrist injury, it would be unsurprising if the Hornets eventually shut him down. Charlotte hosts New York on Thursday, the first of three games it will play to close out Week 20.

Jeffries has started Charlotte’s last five games, reaching double figures on three occasions. While his fantasy value remains low, the opportunity to play starters’ minutes makes him worth a look, especially on nights like Tuesday. The Hornets were without LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, raising Jeffries’ fantasy ceiling. And Charlotte’s schedule for the rest of Week 20 is good, as they’ll play three games in the final four days.

Most of the discussion regarding Rookie of the Year has centered around Stephon Castle and with good reason. However, one must not overlook Risacher, who has made strides since the All-Star break. Shooting 47.7 percent from the field, the rookie wing has averaged 13.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers per game since the break. Risacher has not provided much value in the assist or defensive categories, which has limited his fantasy ceiling. However, the Hawks should be encouraged by his play over the past month.

Daniels filled the stat sheet in Atlanta’s 134-102 victory and recorded his first 20-point game since March 10. The Hawks wing has been one of the best assets in fantasy basketball for managers needing defensive production, but he’s also a capable scorer. Since the All-Star break, Daniels has been a top-40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Hawks conclude Week 20 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back against the Warriors and 76ers.

The showdown between Young and LaMelo Ball never materialized on Tuesday, as the Hornets point guard did not play due to a wrist injury. “Ice Trae” did what he wanted against the Hornets, surpassing the 30-point mark for the third time in five games. Over the past two weeks, Young has provided top-10 value in eight-cat formats. However, the negative for fantasy managers is that the Hawks won’t play again until a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back to end Week 20.

Diabate injured his right leg during the fourth quarter of Tuesday’s game, as it was pinned under his body as the Hornets forward fell to the court. He could not put any weight on the leg while being helped back to the locker room. An extended absence is possible, which could lead to the Hornets occasionally employing smaller lineups.

Ball, who was seven years old when the Hornets last beat the Clippers on the road, struggled with his shot on Sunday. While he had a good night in the Hornets’ win over San Antonio on Friday, LaMelo has made 33.3 percent of his attempts from the field since the All-Star break. On Sunday, the point total and assist production wasn’t good enough to compensate for the poor shooting. Ball will look to bounce back when the Hornets host Atlanta on Tuesday.

Due to the nature of Sunday’s game, which the Hornets lost by a 123-88 final score, Williams only played 25 minutes. However, that did not prevent him from providing excellent value for those who have him rostered. Williams has played 29 minutes or less in his last five appearances but has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats during this stretch. That’s a positive for fantasy managers, as Williams may not log starters’ minutes for the rest of the season. Nothing has been made official, but this is the time of year when lottery-bound teams look to improve their draft odds. The Hornets play four games during Week 20, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday.

Young has had a carry a heavier load on offense since the trade deadline and his scoring average is up to 26.1 since February 7. He’s assisted at the same rate, but his shooting accuracy is down across the board. He’ll have yet another chance to stuff the stat sheet against the Hornets on Tuesday.

Green has played at least 25 minutes in all seven games the Hornets have played in March, but the 24-year-old small forward has had more than three points in just two of those games.

It was an impressive shooting display, but Green doesn’t warrant being rostered in fantasy leagues until he makes these occasional good games a more regular event.

He was the focal point of the offense as they scored 145 points against the Spurs. Ball dropped 27 points on 13 shots including seven made 3-pointers. He had four turnovers again and has had at least four turnovers in five of seven games so far in March. While his turnovers are a headache for fantasy managers in nine-category leagues, the potential for a late-season shutdown given his previous ankle issues is also a concern.

No surprise here as Young was merely listed as probable with an Achilles injury since the Hawks were fined earlier this season after they left the 26-year-old point guard off the injury report.

After sitting out the second leg of Charlotte’s back-to-back on Saturday, Ball returned to the lineup against Miami. He fouled out of his last two appearances and had at least four fouls in five straight games, but that wasn’t an issue on Monday. What was an issue was his poor shooting, though that isn’t a new thing for him either. He was extra bad in that regard in this game, but he has shot worse than 40 percent from the floor in seven straight games. He’ll look to get back on track in Atlanta on Wednesday.

With Caris LeVert (finger) sidelined on Monday, Atlanta’s other trade deadline acquisitions stepped up as scoring options. Mann and Georges Niang (18/4/3) combined to score 37 of the Hawks’ 49 bench points, which helped them secure the win over Philadelphia despite being shorthanded. Mann isn’t a fantasy-friendly option often, but he was able to make an impact in the box score on Monday. However, he isn’t a player that managers should be looking to roster.

With Trae Young (quad) sidelined for this game, Daniels was able to step up on the offensive end as both a scorer and a playmaker.
