Charlotte Hornets Roster

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com, the Pistons might be interested in signing forward Miles Bridges this summer. After sitting out the 2022-23 campaign because of legal troubles, the 26-year-old amassed a career-high 21.0 points and 7.3 rebounds in 69 games with the Hornets this season. Of course, there will be more than a handful of teams expected to make an offer. However, Detroit will have the cap space during the offseason, although the interest could fade depending on who takes over as the president of basketball operations.
Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back), while taking questions from the media on Monday, stated he does not need surgery. He also said "he's definitely feeling better" and plans to play every game next season. While Williams' proclamation regarding his availability throughout the 2024-25 campaign could be a stretch, fantasy managers are still glad to hear things are moving in the right direction. The 22-year-old averaged a career-high 12.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks this season. However, Williams was limited to only 19 games because of a back injury. With that said, he's not worth reaching for in fantasy drafts, but he could easily surpass his ADP expectations if he stays healthy.
Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) won't play on Friday against the Celtics. The 26-year-old hasn't been as productive as he was a few months ago, so his absence isn't much of a blow for fantasy managers. However, with Richards and Grant Williams (ankle) both ruled out, Aleksej Pokusevski should draw serious value consideration for any DFS contest.
Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Celtics. He's battling a sprained right ankle. But with the Hornets having nothing left to play for, Williams likely won't see the floor again this season. With Nick Richards (foot) also out, Williams could have handled things at the five. But with both men out, Aleksej Pokusevski is nearly a lock for all DFS contests.
Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) has received a questionable tag on Friday for a revenge game against the Boston Celtics. The former Celtic has been inconsistent to say the least, but he's hit a bit of a rhythm lately as he continues to be a starter for the Hornets. With a lot of the core not able to play, Williams is likely to get as many opportunities as possible if he plays in this game. It's unclear if the Celtics are going to be resting their starters since their injury report hasn't been submitted, but Williams' value would increase if that was the case. If he can't suit up, however, Davis Bertans and Aleksej Pokusevski would be quality streaming options.
