Miller shot the ball efficiently and had a great three-point shooting performance on Friday. However, he was responsible for five of Charlotte’s 16 turnovers, and was just one of several Hornets to find difficulty on the offensive end. A blowout loss ultimately limited Miller to 29 minutes in the season-ending loss. Nonetheless, he put together another solid fantasy season in Year 3. Perhaps a jump could come in his fourth season.

Bridges struggled with his three-point shot in the season-ending loss. However, his success inside the arc and at the charity stripe helped him finish as Charlotte’s second-leading scorer on the evening. Bridges didn’t contribute in many other areas, however, and a bad team performance prevented this contest from being competitive through the final horn. He ends his seventh NBA season with averages of 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. His fantasy production slipped this season, as did his overall numbers.

While Ball shot more efficiently from the field on Friday than he did in Wednesday’s win, the end result was a blowout, season-ending loss. He scored well from beyond the arc and concluded as the only Hornets player to reach the 20-point mark. Additionally, Ball was Charlotte’s only player with more than two assists. The sixth-year guard’s scoring numbers took a hit this year as his minutes decreased. Yet, he logged 72 regular-season games and proved he could stay healthy. Ball should be in line for a similarly productive 2026-27 season from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Diabaté’s return supplies the Hornets with their starting center, one who brings energy and activity on the glass. He started 47 of 73 games for Charlotte during the regular season and posted 14 rebounds in the first Play-In Tournament win over the Heat. He’ll be on double-double watch vs. the Magic.

Diabaté, who finished Tuesday’s overtime win over the Heat with eight points, 14 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in 36 minutes, is dealing with a sore left hip. If he’s unable to play on Friday, the Hornets would turn to Ryan Kalkbrenner and Grant Williams to fill the resulting void.

The foul has also been upgraded to a flagrant, but the main takeaway here is that LaMelo will be available for Friday’s play-in matchup with the Magic. That will be another win-or-go-home game for them, so having their star point guard serving a suspension would’ve put them at a massive disadvantage. That won’t be the case, which will give them a chance to return to the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

Ball went down in the second quarter and appeared to make contact with Adebayo’s ankle. Adebayo took a hard fall that sent him to the locker room and caused him to miss the rest of the game. The NBA will review the footage to determine if Ball’s contact was intentional, and Haynes reports that a ruling is expected before Friday’s Play-In game.

In his first taste of the postseason, Miller delivered a well-rounded performance to help Charlotte keep its playoff hopes alive. The third-year forward was one of three Hornets players to score at least 20 points in the night, as he tied a team-high five three-pointers. Miller also made contributions on the glass and as a passer, while recording a couple of blocks to round out a very balanced effort. He’ll get a chance to dial up another strong performance on Friday when the Hornets face the winner of Wednesday’s Sixers-Magic game.

Bridges was exceptional on both ends of the floor during Tuesday’s contest. In his team-high 43 minutes, he did lots of damage from beyond the arc, but also had his share of buckets inside the three-point line. The veteran forward also battled on the glass and nearly amassed a double-double. But perhaps his biggest moment came in the closing moments of the game when he went up and blocked Davion Mitchell’s game-winning shot attempt to keep the Hornets’ season alive. Bridges totaled four stocks and will try to land another impactful two-way performance on Friday against the winner of Sixers-Magic.

Ball struggled from the field on Tuesday but made the shot that counted the most. Down by one point with under nine seconds to play, he caught the ball at the top of the arc, drove right, and finished a contested layup to give the Hornets the lead and ultimately the win. Ball had missed 19 of his 30 shot attempts prior to the go-ahead bucket that will keep Charlotte’s season alive. The sixth-year point guard tallied double-digit assists to go along with his 30 points. He’ll have a chance to record another double-double in the final elimination game on Friday, when they face the loser of Wednesday’s Philadelphia-Orlando matchup.

While he only played 16 minutes on Sunday, White was effective in those moments. The Hornets guard shot 60 percent from the field overall and 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. White’s ability to provide scoring off the bench will be critical in the Play-In Tournament, which the Hornets will begin on Wednesday with a home game against the Heat. If Charlotte wins, they would visit the Orlando/Philadelphia loser on Friday, with the winner earning the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Ball finished Sunday’s victory with a complete stat line, but the efficiency was somewhat lacking. A 5-of-16 night from beyond the arc lowered the overall field-goal percentage, and he was also responsible for five turnovers. However, Ball has made strides in his efficiency this season, which is one reason the Hornets managed to qualify for the Play-In Tournament. They’ll need to win two games to reach the playoffs, starting with the Heat on Wednesday.

Miller and the Hornets secured the No. 9 seed in the East with Sunday’s victory, meaning that they’ll host the Heat on Wednesday. However, he may not be a lock to play. Miller exited Sunday’s game during the fourth quarter after taking a shot to the head while attempting a layup. The Hornets never officially declared him done for the night, which may be a positive sign regarding his availability for Wednesday.

The Hornets need either a win over the Knicks or a Heat loss to the Hawks to secure the No. 9 seed in the East. With Atlanta, like New York, sitting its entire starting five, the Hornets need to take care of business. White’s availability will undoubtedly help with that.

White is not on the injury report due to the sore groin that sidelined him for Tuesday’s loss to the Celtics, and he’s considered probable for Sunday’s game. The Hornets need a win to hold onto the No. 9 seed and host No. 10 Miami on Wednesday.

Ball continues to have great fantasy stats, but he didn’t have a great game against the Pistons on Friday. The 24-year-old point guard needed 20 attempts to get his 27 points and had four turnovers. As the starting point guard, he certainly had a hand in the Hornets scoring just 10 points in the fourth quarter as the Pistons pulled away. Charlotte will close out the season against the Knicks on Sunday.

White is on track to play after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Celtics with a sore left groin. His return likely means fewer minutes for Sion James, who logged 19 minutes off the bench in Boston.

Miller had 20 points, but not much else in the loss to the Celtics on Tuesday. The Hornets were 16-of-49 from behind the three-point line in this one and the 23-year-old small forward contributed to the total by going 2-of-8. Miller has provided top-60 per game value this season, making him a value at his preseason ADP.

Ball followed up his 35-point performance in Sunday’s win over the Timberwolves with 36 points against the Celtics, though the Hornets weren’t fortunate enough to win this time. The 24-year-old point guard has been as advertised this year. There were great highs and lows, but in the end Ball stayed healthy and provided fourth-round per game value over the course of the season. That’s a win for his fantasy managers this year.

White was downgraded to questionable Tuesday afternoon and subsequently ruled out with left groin soreness. The 26-year-old has excelled in a bench role since coming over from the Bulls before the trade deadline. Tre Mann could see a slight boost in minutes and production with White sidelined.

The downgrade in status so close to tip-off is never good news for a player’s availability. If White is sidelined, the Hornets will need to pick up the slack through a committee approach, but there are no actionable fantasy moves.

White is managing some soreness in his groin, but he is expected to suit up against Boston. He’ll continue to be a fantastic option off the bench for Charlotte, though his fantasy impact has been limited by a lack of minutes, partially due to so many blowouts.

Since coming over from the Bulls in a trade before this year’s deadline, White has routinely played 25 minutes or less per game. The 26-year-old point guard has displayed remarkable offensive efficiency with the Hornets as he’s consistently put up points without playing a ton of minutes. Sunday was his ninth game with at least 16 points in his last 12 games, and he did it despite just 20 minutes. White is most useful in points and category leagues because of his lack of production in the other categories.

Bridges has now scored 25 points in two of his last three games and at least 19 points in four consecutive games. The 28-year-old small forward stepped up for the Hornets on a night when Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller combined for just 18 points. Bridges has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Hornets have three games in the last week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Celtics on Tuesday.

Ball had two 30-point games in the entire month of March and wasted no time by dropping 35 points in his third game in April. The 24-year-old point guard caught fire from downtown as he made 7-of-14 attempts from behind the three-point line. Ball has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Hornets have three games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Celtics on Tuesday.
