Miles Bridges Questionable For Saturday Afternoon

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 26-year-old has struggled this season, averaging 14.6 points and shooting a career-low 26.7% from behind the arc. With that said, there's a good chance he won't return from his three-game absence on Saturday, although the questionable tag at least suggests he's moving in the right direction. In the meantime, Grant Williams, averaging 10.0 points, 3.5 boards, and 44.4% shooting from downtown, is worth starting in deeper fantasy formats. However, Bridges' absence should mean the most to LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, who are both in line to see a significant bump in scoring chances.

Tre Mann  • PG  •  Hornets

Tre Mann Unavailable On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Mann has been dealing with back soreness for a few days, so the team has decided to sit him and let him rest. The 23-year-old was limited to 15 minutes during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Before that, Mann was averaging over 25 minutes per game, so there is a significant void to fill in the rotation. Vasilije Micic figures to move into the rotation and Seth Curry will likely see more minutes in the rotation. Between the two, Curry is the much better streaming option for Tuesday's slate.

Cody Martin Active For Tuesday Night's Matchup Against Orlando

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (illness) is active for Charlotte's game on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Martin popped up on the injury report with an illness but feels good enough to play through it. The 29-year-old has averaged 9.9 PPG and 4.5 RPG to start this season. Expect Martin to continue to produce off the bench for the Hornets. Fantasy managers and DFS players should temper expectations for Martin against a stout Magic defense, though. Still ensure he's in your lineups as he will get 25 minutes of game action but his normal numbers may be muted.

Tre Mann Questionable To Face Magic

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) is considered questionable for Tuesday's battle with Orlando. He shook off a questionable tag to play on Sunday versus Philadelphia but apparently still isn't fully healthy. Mann has so far featured in all 10 games, averaging 14.8 points and 3.3 assists in 25.1 minutes. However, the 23-year-old has been inconsistent with his performances lately, and sitting out some action might even be beneficial for him. Vasilije Micic will likely re-enter the rotation on Tuesday if Mann is out, but he lacks fantasy appeal.

Grant Williams Available For Friday's Matchup With Pacers

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) will take the court against the Pacers on Friday despite dealing with some lower back soreness earlier in the day. He was initially listed as probable after sustaining the injury during Wednesday's win over the Pistons. With Miles Bridges (knee) out, the 25-year-old is expected to be part of the starting lineup. Across eight contests, Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 2.6 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game.

Miles Bridges Out For At Least Two Weeks

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has suffered a bone bruise to his right knee and will be out for at least two weeks. According to Michael Scotto, the 26-year-old will be re-evaluated at the two-week mark to see if he'll need to miss any more time after that. In his last game on Wednesday, Bridges played 35 minutes and posted 27 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. Either Cody Martin or Grant Williams will likely take over that starting spot but both of them are riskier streaming options right now.

Brandon Miller  • SF  •  Hornets

Brandon Miller Tagged As Probable For Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (shoulder) is considered probable ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Miller dropped 19 points with six rebounds during Wednesday's game, but he picked up a shoulder injury in the process. The fact he's listed as probable means Miller should be good to go, but fantasy managers should check back. The Hornets would be in bad shape if Miller sat out with Miles Bridges (knee) already ruled out. Seth Curry and Cody Martin could be asked to play big minutes if Miller is unable to play.

Miles Bridges Won't Play On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Bridges suffered a hypertension of his right knee during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game. He was able to return to the contest, but the Hornets are going to take the cautious approach here. It sounds like Bridges is considered day-to-day, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. Cody Martin is likely to move into the starting five, which should give him increased value for at least one game.

LaMelo Ball  • PG  •  Hornets

LaMelo Ball Will Play Against Detroit

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play on Wednesday versus the Detroit Pistons. The 23-year-old is battling ankle soreness. However, after testing things during pre-game warmups, he'll suit up against a Detroit team that has won two-straight games. Ball, averaging a career-high 28.6 points with 5.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals, remains a must-start despite the chance of re-injury.

Cody Martin  • SF  •  Hornets

Cody Martin Probable For Wednesday Night

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday night's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Martin had been dealing with a minor illness but hasn't missed any time. Expect the 29-year-old to continue coming off the bench for Charlotte. Martin's averaging 10.0 PPG this season while shooting 37% from three. While the three-point shooting percentage seems encouraging, fantasy managers shouldn't expect consistent production going forward as he's failed to play more than 20 minutes in each of the Hornets' last two games. Better options are likely available on the waiver wire that fantasy managers should prioritize until Martin either catches a hot streak or finds his way back into the starting lineup.

Nick Richards  • C  •  Hornets

Nick Richards To Miss Some Time

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (rib) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This comes as little surprise after Richards suffered a rib cartilage fracture during last Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. The team plans to hold out Richards until after the upcoming road trip. That means, Richards won't be re-evaluated until November 18 at the earliest. Grant Williams and Taj Gibson figure to see increased playing time. Williams finished with five points, three rebounds, and two steals across 21 minutes on Monday. Gibson started that game, but didn't offer much more value during his 16 minutes of playing time. Fantasy managers are probably only going to get low-end value out of these two.

Brandon Miller Will Play Versus Minnesota

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) will play on Monday night versus the Timberwolves. The 21-year-old last played in Saturday's matchup with the Boston Celtics, amassing 16 points, six assists, two steals, and one block. However, since that was his first contest back from a four-game absence, fantasy managers were hoping he wouldn't miss another one. Fortunately, that won't happen. As usual, Miller is a must-start, with his presence meaning fewer minutes for Cody Martin.

Brandon Miller Questionable For Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After missing four games, Miller made a strong return on Saturday against the Celtics, contributing 16 points, six assists, four rebounds, two steals, and a block. His 31 minutes of play in that game suggest he is in good health, but his status is certainly worth monitoring since he's listed as questionable. At just 21 years old, fantasy managers are hopeful that he will remain healthy and continue to grow and improve throughout the season.

Brandon Miller Questionable Against Celtics

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) has a chance to return on Friday after suffering a glute strain during their first game of the season. The second-year wing is a big part of the team's future, so the Hornets are always going to err on the cautious side. This is the first time he's received a questionable tag since the injury though, so it looks like he's trending in the right direction. If he suits up, Josh Green will likely head back to the bench.

Josh Green  • SF  •  Hornets

Josh Green Sidelined Against The Heat

Charlotte Hornets guard Josh Green (Achilles) won't suit up on Saturday against the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old made his 2024-25 debut on Friday versus the Hawks, finishing with five points, three boards, one steal, and one block in 18 minutes. However, he'll take the night off to rest. With Green sidelined, Tre Mann, who has scored 41 points in the Hornets' first two contests, will likely see more action from off the bench.

LaMelo Ball  • PG  •  Hornets

LaMelo Ball Cleared For Action On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (tailbone) will play on Saturday versus Miami. The 23-year-old was questionable heading into this contest. However, he is good to go. Ball has played extremely well in Charlotte's first two games, averaging 34.0 points, 7.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from deep. Ball's presence decreases the ceiling of Tre Mann. Still, Mann could be involved enough to exceed expectations with Brandon Miller (glute) sidelined.

LaMelo Ball Questionable For Saturday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (tailbone) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old has been on fire this season, averaging 34.0 points, 7.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he's in danger of missing Saturday's contest. If that happens, it would be a tough blow for Charlotte, considering Brandon Miller (glute) is sidelined for at least a week. At any rate, Miles Bridges and Tre Mann would be the favorites to pick up the slack offensively if Ball can't get on the floor against the Heat.

Tidjane Salaun  • PF  •  Hornets

Tidjane Salaun Active For Friday's Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun (finger) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The rookie forward is set to make his season debut after sitting out on Opening Night. Salaun figures to be a rotational piece to begin the season. He could immediately get consistent minutes with Brandon Miller (glute) already sidelined. His absence could mean that Josh Green shifts over to shooting guard which should given Cody Martin and Salaun more minutes at small forward. For now, fantasy managers can use a wait and see approach with Salaun.

Josh Green Available On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Josh Green (Achilles) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Green appears ready to make his team debut after missing Wednesday's contest. Green could see a larger role in the rotation than normal with Brandon Miller (glute) sidelined for at least a week. The 23-year-old didn't light up the box score last season, but he could be a decent contributor if he's given enough playing time. Green has some low-end streaming appeal with the Hornets shorthanded without Miller.

Brandon Miller  • SF  •  Hornets

Brandon Miller To Be Re-Evaluated In One Week

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (glute) is set to miss at least a week of action. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Miller will be re-evaluated in one week after sustaining a left glute strain. The 21-year-old was hurt in Wednesday's season opener against Houston. Tre Mann and Seth Curry will have additional fantasy value during Miller's absence, with the former likely moving to the first unit. Mann put up 11.9 points with 4.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 28 starts last year. However, it must be noted that Mann's productive run came when LaMelo Ball was out of the lineup.
