Diabaté sprained his right wrist during Wednesday’s loss to the Warriors but returned after getting taped up. With Ryan Kalkbrenner and Mason Plumlee out, the latter for six weeks, the Hornets will be in a tough spot if Diabaté can’t play.

Bitadze played just 19 minutes Wednesday, but was incredibly efficient with 14 points on seven field goal attempts and nine rebounds. The 26-year-old backup center isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues without an injury to Wendell Carter Jr., but after missing some time to injury this year, Bitadze showed why he’s considered a reliable reserve.

Banchero drew some flack earlier this week after missing a potential game-winning shot at the buzzer Monday against the Raptors. The 23-year-old power forward bounced back in a big way Wednesday against the Pacers as he backed down his defender before driving and delivering the game-winner that put the Magic up 112-110 with seven seconds left. Banchero will continue to carry the offense with Franz Wagner out. The Magic will take on the Bulls Friday in their third of four games this week.

Bane was forced out of Monday’s matchup with Toronto due to back spasms, but the issue won’t cause him to miss any time. Suggs will return following a six-game absence, though it’s unclear if he’ll face any restrictions in his first game back. Anthony Black has been phenomenal, and he should retain standalone value even if he heads back to the bench in favor of Suggs. Tyus Jones will see the biggest reduction in playing time with Suggs back in action.

Sexton got the starting nod in place of the injured Miles Bridges, and he made the most of his opportunities. The Young Bull shot just 6-of-16 from the floor and 0-of-5 from beyond the arc, but efficiency aside, he offered useful numbers to fantasy managers who decided to stream him. Sexton could stick with the first unit if Bridges is forced to miss additional time. The Hornets play a Friday-Saturday back-to-back set against the Bucks and Bulls.

Miller led all scorers in this one, but his high-scoring effort wasn’t enough to guide Charlotte to victory. Miller finished with 31/8/5 on Monday, and he’s scored at least 30 points in back-to-back contests. Fantasy managers can count on Miller staying heavily involved on offense as one of the Hornets’ top options.

Ball has scored at least 22 points in five of his last six games. The story with the 24-year-old point guard Monday has been the same for most of the season. Ball had a good game with 26 points, seven assists and six three-points, but also had six turnovers. It’s his second game in a row with six turnovers and third time he’s had six turnovers in a game this month. Ball is averaging 3.8 turnovers per game in December.

Black continues to shoulder more of the scoring workload for the Magic with Franz Wagner (ankle) still on the shelf, scoring 20-plus points in five of his last six games. He poured in 16 first-half points, hitting 3-of-5 from downtown, while the rest of the Magic went an absurd 0-for-13 from three-point range. He converted a clutch layup with 1:06 left in regulation to put Orlando in front during a back-and-forth slugfest that came down the wire. He also played phenomenal defense against Jamal Murray on the game’s final possession forcing him into a tough fadeaway that clanged off the iron. The Magic are back in action when they kick off a four-game week on Monday against the Raptors.

On the heels of an 18-rebound explosion earlier this week, Diabaté posted his second consecutive double-double, pulling down a game-high 13 boards. The 23-year-old center isn’t much of a scoring threat since his game is mostly limited to around the rim, but he’s making an impact for fantasy purposes as an elite rebounder, averaging 12 boards over his last four games. He’ll be a relevant fantasy option in deeper fantasy formats until rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) is ready to return.

Yikes. Banchero’s ice-cold stretch continued in this one as he was held to 13 points or fewer for the second straight contest. The 23-year-old franchise cornerstone has been stuck in a rut offensively for the better part of the last two weeks, averaging just 19.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks over that six-game stretch, delivering abysmal 13th-round fantasy value during that span. Orlando’s persistent offensive struggles aren’t going to vanish overnight but they’ll get Franz Wagner (ankle) back at some point soon which should help elevate the rest of their secondary scorers.
