Poeltl has not appeared in a game since December 21, and it’s unknown when that will change. With that being the case, now is a good time to add Collin Murray-Boyles if he’s sitting on the waiver wire. Sandro Mamukelashvili is another suitable option, but he does not offer CMB’s ceiling in category leagues.

Barnes is back after a one-game absence. Sandro Mamukelashvili replaced him in the starting lineup, but the Raptors could choose to start both since RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram are out. Even if he comes off the bench, Mamu will play quality minutes.

Mann did not play at all during the first three quarters of Saturday’s game. His name was called to begin the fourth, and the Hornets’ guard was not going to get cheated offensively. Mann shot 70 percent from the field and scored a team-high 20 points. The scoring outburst isn’t guaranteed to get Mann the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball, so leave him on the waiver wire.

Saturday’s game was the first for Williams since November 2024, and he wasted no time getting up shots. All ten of his shots were three-pointers, of which he made three. Williams played 14 minutes, which Charlotte’s 55-point win may have inflated. There’s no need to add Williams after one game, but the ability to play either power forward or center may ensure him of rotation minutes the rest of the way.

Kalkbrenner was back in the rotation after missing ten games with a sprained left elbow. The rookie center was productive in the same areas he’s been all season, putting up a high field-goal percentage while also recording solid rebound and blocked shot numbers. Kalkbrenner played 23 minutes on Saturday, with Moussia Diabaté (10/10/1/0/2) logging 25. The split in the minutes is worth watching moving forward, as both can offer solid fantasy value.

Five was the number of the night for Ball, with three of the four statistical categories in which he hit that number being positive. The Hornets’ guard was responsible for five rebounds, five assists, five three-pointers...and five turnovers. By now, fantasy managers know to expect high-turnover nights from Ball, but the five on Saturday were the most in a game for him since December 31. However, Ball has been a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, so turnovers aren’t going to cause too much stress among fantasy managers.

Miller and the Hornets handed Utah a 150-95 beating, the largest in Jazz franchise history since moving to Salt Lake City. With the game out of hand by the end of the first quarter, Miller only played 22 minutes, which affected the final stat line. The good news for fantasy managers is that he offered solid value, especially in assists and steals. Charlotte begins a four-game Week 13 on Monday against the Clippers.

After coming off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Pacers, as it was the second game in as many nights for the Hornets, Ball is back in the starting lineup. Collin Sexton will come off the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling. The other four starters are unchanged, with Ryan Kalkbrenner coming off the bench in his first game back from an elbow injury.

Quickley has shouldered more of the offensive workload for the injury-plagued Raptors, who were without a trio of key contributors in this one with Scottie Barnes (knee), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back) all on the shelf. They also lost RJ Barrett to an apparent left ankle injury during the late stages of the fourth quarter. The speedy 26-year-old guard dished out a season-high 13 helpers but it still wasn’t enough. He should see an uptick in creation opportunities and three-point attempts with Barnes, Ingram and Barret out of the mix, which provides a short-term boost to his fantasy appeal. The Raptors are back in action with back-to-back contests against the 76ers starting on Sunday night.

The absence of several key contributors due to injuries should lead to increased touches and creation possessions for Walter moving forward, which provides an immediate boost to his fantasy profile. The 21-year-old lacks significant scoring upside on a consistent basis, but the opportunities are there on a short-term basis with RJ Barrett (ankle), Scottie Barnes (knee), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back) all dealing with injuries. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper fantasy leagues.

Barrett injured his left ankle during the fourth quarter of Friday’s game and was ruled out late in the period. He finished with 19 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers. More will be learned about the severity of Barrett’s injury on Saturday, and the Raptors were without Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes for Friday’s game.

Inactive since suffering a torn right ACL in November of 2024, Williams is on track to make his season debut on Saturday.

After ten consecutive games on the sidelines, Kalkbrenner could be back in the lineup on Saturday. His availability affects Moussa Diabaté the most, as he has been the replacement in the starting lineup.

Limited to 12 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors, Bridges was a bit more effective on Thursday. He’s recorded at least four assists in each of his last three games, and the Hornets’ forward has offered top-50 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While Bridges’ fantasy ceiling isn’t particularly high, he provides a solid floor for managers seeking consistent production.

Interestingly, Knueppel did not attempt a shot during the first quarter of Thursday’s game. His involvement in the Hornets’ offense did increase in the ensuing quarters, but that was an interesting approach for the rookie to take.

With Thursday’s game being the second in as many nights for the Hornets, the training staff altered its approach to Ball’s minutes. He was brought off the bench against the Pacers, but that did not negatively affect the point guard’s production early on. Ball scored 11 points in each of the first three quarters, and the 33 points were two more than what he produced in his prior two appearances combined. If Thursday’s approach is the one that Charlotte takes with future back-to-backs, that would be good news for managers who have Ball on their fantasy rosters.

Though he didn’t do much scoring, Diabaté was still able to make a big impact in this game. He is currently the only healthy center for Charlotte, which means he has been starting and has seen a big bump in minutes. He had a couple double-doubles late in December and is certainly capable of scoring more, but that hasn’t happened consistently. Still, until Ryan Kalkbrenner returns, Diabaté should be rostered.

Sexton was one of the few reliable scoring options for the Hornets in this game. He led the team in scoring while coming off the bench, and the other typical scorers for Charlotte struggled. It matched a season high for Sexton and was his first time scoring at least 20 points in a game since November. Sexton is still capable of making a fantasy impact, but he hasn’t gotten the opportunity consistently this year.

An early exit from Brandon Ingram (thumb) resulted in Barrett leading the way offensively for the Raptors. He fell one point shy of matching his season high for scoring, which he set four days prior to this game. Barrett’s production has been up and down since he returned from a 15-game absence due to a knee injury. However, he was able to step up on offense in this game, which certainly didn’t hurt for fantasy managers. Still, his fantasy impact will continue to be limited due to his lack of production in other categories.

The combination of passing and defensive production was fantastic for both the Raptors and fantasy managers alike.
