Rotoworld Player News

Naz Reid

CHA Center-Forward #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Naz Reid had seven points (2-of-6 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons.

Reid was benched at halftime Wednesday. Hornets coach Charles Lee told reporters after the game that Reid didn’t meet the teams’ standard in the first half and that facilitated the decision to bench him at halftime. Lee didn’t get more specific than that. The move didn’t seem to pay off as the Hornets led by seven at halftime and ended up losing by eight. Fantasy managers with Reid rostered are likely miffed by this whole ordeal, but Lee added that he looks forward to Reid meeting the teams’ standard in the next game, meaning that the benching won’t continue.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Brandon Miller had 31 points (12-of-26 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers against the Pistons on Wednesday.

After a rough first two games of the season where he combined for 24 points, Miller has scored at least 31 points in three consecutive games. His 12 rebounds were a season-high so far. Miller is still struggling with his three-pointers as he’s shot at least 30 percent from downtown in only one of the first five games. He’ll get his next chance to improve in that regard against the Wizards on the road on Friday.
Moussa Diabaté

CHA Forward #14

Moussa Diabaté recorded a double-double on Monday with 11 points (4-of-6 FGs), 17 rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks against the Wizards.

It has been a relatively quiet start to the season for Diabaté, but he was able to showcase just how good he is as a rebounder in this one. This was the third-highest rebounding total he’s had in a single game, which contributed to Charlotte’s third win of the season. Diabaté should continue to be a beast on the glass, and any other contributions in other categories are just icing on the cake.
Naz Reid

CHA Center-Forward #0

Naz Reid posted a double-double on Monday with 18 points (8-of-22 FGs), 12 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers against the Wizards.

It was a rough start to this game for Reid, and he had just two points on 1-of-3 FGs through three quarters. However, he was incredibly aggressive in the fourth quarter, and it paid off. He had 16 points and seven rebounds in just the fourth quarter, which allowed Charlotte to hang on to the win despite a big fourth quarter from Washington. Reid has gotten off to a strong start to the year for Charlotte and should continue to be a big part of their offense.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 39 points (15-of-28 FGs), six rebounds, one assist, three steals, two blocks and five three-pointers in a 110-103 win over the Wizards on Monday.

The volume has been there all season, but the shots finally started falling for Miller in this game. That allowed him to set a new career high for scoring and score at least 30 points for a second straight game. Until Kon Knueppel (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) return, Miller is going to see as many shots as he wants. He has taken 57 shots over Charlotte’s last two games and should continue to see an insane amount of usage on offense, with a trip to Detroit up next on the schedule on Wednesday.
Naz Reid

CHA Center-Forward #0

Naz Reid (illness) is available for Monday’s game against the Wizards.

Added to the Hornets’ injury report late Monday morning, Reid will play against the Wizards. He’ll take on his usual role in the Hornets’ starting five, so those rostering Reid need to ensure that he’s in their active lineups.
Naz Reid

CHA Center-Forward #0

Naz Reid (illness) is probable for Monday’s game against the Wizards.

Reid popped up on the injury report as probable with an illness, but he’s still likely to suit up against the Wizards Monday. After three games with the Hornets, Reid is averaging 20.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 4.0 threes.
Kylan Boswell

CHA Guard #18

Kylan Boswell (knee) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Wizards.

Boswell, who suffered a right knee injury during the offseason, is available to make his NBA debut. However, he isn’t guaranteed to play, especially as a two-way contract player. Boswell should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.
Grant Williams

CHA Forward #2

Grant Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday’s game against the Wizards.

Williams was injured just before training camp began and did not play in any of Charlotte’s first three games. His continued absence gives Royce O’Neale more playing time, and he has been Naz Reid’s primary backup at power forward.
Coby White

CHA Guard #3

Coby White (calf) is out for Monday’s game against the Wizards.

White still isn’t ready to make his season debut after straining his calf in the preseason. Until he can play, the Hornets will continue to rely on a point guard rotation of Dennis Schröder and Christian Anderson Jr.
