LaMelo’s ‘transition’ in his game a factor for CHA

Rotoworld Player News

Tidjane Salaün

CHA Forward #31

Tidjane Salaün (calf) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Salaün’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.
Miles Bridges

CHA Forward #0

Miles Bridges accounted for 16 points (7-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Hornets.

Bridges’ scoring output has decreased since the All-Star break, and his season-long fantasy value has suffered. Including Sunday’s performance, he’s averaged 12.6 points per game on 40 percent shooting since the break. Add in Bridges shooting 66.7 percent from the field and limited production in assists, steals and blocks, and his post-break value sits well outside the top-100. Bridges should still be rostered in most leagues regardless of format, but fantasy managers hope he can turn things around in Week 20.
Kon Knueppel

CHA Guard-Forward #7

Kon Knueppel tallied 15 points (4-of-11 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), one rebound, four assists and two three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Hornets.

One game removed from dropping 27 points in a loss to the Heat, Knueppel was limited to 15 on Sunday. One subpar performance doesn’t erase the overall body of work, and the rookie remains one of the best first-year players in fantasy basketball. Knueppel will look to rebound when the Hornets visit the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, the first of three games they’ll play in Week 20.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball finished Sunday’s loss to the Suns with 22 points (9-of-19 FGs), seven rebounds, six assists and four three-pointers.

For the first time since the All-Star break, Ball has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games. While he shot 4-of-12 from beyond the arc, the overall efficiency was good. Ball shot just under 50 percent from the field and kept the turnovers in check, committing two. The Hornets continue their road trip with three games in Week 20, starting with a back-to-back against the Trail Blazers and Kings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tidjane Salaün

CHA Forward #31

Tidjane Salaün (calf) is out for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

Salaün suffered a strained calf during a March 1 win over the Mavericks and has not been available since. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball or the Hornets’ rotation.
Kon Knueppel

CHA Guard-Forward #7

Kon Knueppel had 27 points (9-of-14 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, four assists and six three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Heat.

Knueppel and the Hornets saw their winning streak snapped at the hands of the Heat on Friday 128-120. The 20-year-old shooting guard still had an excellent game, leading Charlotte with 27 points. Knueppel was 9-of-14 from the field and went 6-of-10 from behind the three-point line. He’s provided fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Hornets close out Week 19 against the Suns on Sunday.
Grant Williams

CHA Forward #2

Grant Williams (knee) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Heat.

Williams sat out on Wednesday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll return to play Miami, which means Ryan Kalkbrenner and Pat Connaughton will lose minutes off the bench.
Tidjane Salaün

CHA Forward #31

Tidjane Salaün (calf) is out for Friday’s game against the Heat.

Salaün’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, especially with Grant Williams available to absorb the backup power forward minutes.
Kon Knueppel

CHA Guard-Forward #7

Kon Knueppel accounted for 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics.

Having totaled 23 points on 10-of-25 shooting in his prior two games, Knueppel got back to his usual business on Wednesday. He led four Hornets in double figures with 20 points, shooting 50 percent from the field overall and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Knueppel and the Hornets play twice more in Week 19, starting with the Heat on Friday as they continue their climb up the Eastern Conference standings.
Coby White

CHA Guard #3

Coby White amassed 17 points (6-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics.

With the trade to Charlotte and his return from a calf injury, White’s role with his new team has lowered his fantasy ceiling. However, the Hornets guard had a good night in Boston, recording excellent percentages and dishing out a team-high six assists (tied with Moussa Diabaté). Just as concerning for managers who have White rostered as his role is Charlotte’s upcoming schedule, as they’ll have another back-to-back to navigate during Week 20.
