Moussa Diabate is Available on Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (hip) is available to play ahead of Friday's Play-In game against the Orlando Magic. Diabate will shake the questionable tag and suit up for this elimination contest. The big man finished with eight points and 14 rebounds during the first Play-In victory over the Miami Heat. He played 36 minutes during that game and figures to have a similar role during Friday's game. DFS players should take a look at Diabte as a possible double-double threat against the Magic. Ryan Kalkbrenner and Grant Williams will see backup minutes behind him, but they won't be as appealing DFS options.

Moussa Diabate Listed as Questionable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (hip) is considered questionable for Friday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Orlando Magic. Charlotte may be without its starting center for the win-or-go-home game, as Diabate has landed on the injury report with a sore left hip. The 24-year-old is coming off an eight-point, 14-rebound effort in Tuesday's win over Miami. If Diabate can't get on the floor on Friday, Ryan Kalkbrenner and Grant Williams are likely to get the bulk of the work at center. Xavier Tillman may also enter the rotation.

Moussa Diabate Back in Lineup Sunday

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (ankle) is available Sunday against Minnesota after missing one game. His return likely sends Ryan Kalkbrenner back to a reserve role and could push Xavier Tillman out of the rotation. Diabate has averaged 7.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.7 blocks across 26.6 minutes over his last 10 games, giving him deep-league value for rebounds and defensive stats. He could provide late-season category help in those areas, while Kalkbrenner may see his minutes and fantasy value take a step back.

Moussa Diabate Out, Ryan Kalkbrenner Starting Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers, while center Ryan Kalkbrenner will move into the starting lineup. Kalkbrenner becomes a viable deep-league streamer after producing eight points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, and four blocks in 23 minutes during his last outing. His shot-blocking gives him immediate category value. LaMelo Ball could see a slight usage increase, while Miles Bridges may grab more rebounds with Diabate out. Kalkbrenner is mainly a blocks specialist, but he is a sensible short-term add for managers chasing defensive production.

Moussa Diabate Will Miss Two Games Due to Suspension

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate won't play Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks or against the Houston Rockets after the All-Star break due to a two-game suspension. Diabate was partially responsible for starting a scuffle with Detroit center Jalen Duren, which escalated into a brawl. Duren, Isaiah Stewart, and Miles Bridges were all tagged with suspensions of various lengths. Rookie center Ryan Kalkbrenner should return to the starting lineup while Diabate serves his suspension. Diabate is averaging a career-best 8.2 points and 8.6 rebounds. He'll be eligible to return on February 20th against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Miles Bridges, Moussa Diabate Ejected for Fighting

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges and center Moussa Diabate were ejected in the third quarter of Monday's 110-104 loss to the Detroit Pistons. With 7:09 remaining in the quarter, Diabate committed a foul on Pistons center Jalen Duren, leading to the two players butting heads. A brawl broke out after Duren pushed Diabate in the face. Bridges threw punches at Duren and Isaiah Stewart, who joined the altercation from the Pistons' bench. Charlotte also finished the game without head coach Charles Lee, who was ejected in the fourth quarter after losing his cool over a foul call. There are likely suspensions for players involved in the incident. The absence of Bridges and Diabate from the rotation would enhance the fantasy value of Ryan Kalkbrenner and Grant Williams.

Moussa Diabate Available to Play on Sunday

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (hamstring) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Diabate is back in the mix after sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set due to a right hamstring strain. He's back on Sunday and should return to his role as the starting center. This month, Diabate is averaging 9.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 30.5 minutes across six games in January. Ryan Kalkbrenner will take the biggest hit to his fantasy value with Diabate back in the mix. Diabate offers enough upside to at least be rostered in deep leagues.

Ryan Kalkbrenner Out, Moussa Diabate Probable Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors, while center Moussa Diabate (wrist) is listed as probable on the injury report. Kalkbrenner will sit out his ninth consecutive game due to a sprained left elbow. Diabate skipped a couple of games last week due to a wrist sprain, but it looks like he will be good to go against Toronto. With Kalkbrenner sidelined, Diabate has stepped into a regular starting role, averaging 8.8 points and 11.0 rebounds per game with the first unit. Facing a Raptors team missing Jakob Poeltl (back) on Wednesday, Diabate is well-positioned for another productive outing.

Moussa Diabate Returning Returning on Monday

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (wrist) will play on Monday versus the Thunder after missing the last two games. With Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) out of commission, Diabate has been filling in admirably. In six starts this season, he's averaged 8.8 points and 11.8 rebounds, which is good enough to land him a spot in most fantasy lineups, even with a tough matchup on tap. Diabate's return will mean PJ Hall will head back to the bench.

Moussa Diabate Iffy for Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (wrist) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old big man, who has been Charlotte's starting center in recent games, sprained his right wrist against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. Diabate's absence would be a massive blow for the Hornets, who have already been without Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) and Mason Plumlee (groin). PJ Hall will likely be the next man up as the starting center if Diabate exits the lineup. With that said, Friday is a tough matchup for Charlotte's bigs, as Milwaukee allows the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing fives.
