Ausar, Amen Thompson Work Out With The Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets brought in Ausar and Amen Thompson for a pre-draft workout as they hold the second overall pick in the NBA Draft. The Thompson twins come from Overtime Elite with a lot of hype and mystique surrounding them. We haven't seen anyone come in and become a success in the NBA from Overtime […]

Could Victor Wembanyama's NBA Draft Landing Spot Impact his Fantasy Basketball Value?

In just a few short weeks, the world will finally know where Victor Wembanyama will play basketball next season. From a fantasy perspective, the consensus is that Wemby will be a once-in-a-lifetime unicorn regardless of where he lands. For crying out loud, he's the most hyped-up NBA prospect since LeBron James and his skillset appears […]

P.J. Washington Viewed As A "Core" Member Of The Hornets

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington wants to remain with the team. The 24-year-old rejected a rookie extension in October, so he'll be a restricted free agent this offseason, giving Charlotte the right to match any offers from clubs around the league. The Hornets will likely do what it takes to keep Washington on the roster, […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/19/23)

Hey, RotoBallers! It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me, but I’m excited to talk NBA playoffs. In my short time writing NBA betting content here, I managed to finish the season with a 10-6 record. I’m also happy to say that moneyline parlays went 3-2 and a $100 bettor would’ve profited $490. The […]

The Top Move Each NBA Lottery Team Must Make This Offseason

The play-in tournament was created to put an end to "tanking" once and for all, but it hasn't quite worked that way. Tanking is still a thing, as NBA teams don't want to be stuck in "No Man's Land," the middle zone of a seventh to 10th-place finish. And, who can blame them? As of […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Wants To Remain With Hornets

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is set to become a free agent this season. Despite that, Oubre mentioned he'd like to remain with the Hornets going forward. However, he also said that he understands there's a business side to basketball. That means, if the money isn't there or the Hornets don't want him then […]

P.J. Washington Wants To Stay In Charlotte

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington is set to become a restricted free agent this summer. Although, the 24-year-old said his preference would be to stay in Charlotte. Washington might be looking at a nice contract this offseason after the season he put together. He averaged a career-high 15.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in […]

Mark Williams Wraps Up Season With A Double-Double

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams completed his rookie campaign with a nice 22-point, 10-rebound double-double Sunday versus Cleveland. He was near-perfect from the field with a 9-for-10 effort and helped the team to end a disappointing campaign on a high note, with the Hornets stinging the home team with a 106-95 victory. In 30 minutes […]

Theo Maledon Has Another Productive Outing Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Theo Maledon put in another productive performance Friday against Houston, posting 22 points with eight assists and a career-high five steals in a 122-109 loss. He got there with 8-for-15 shooting, hitting a nice 4-for-8 from behind the arc. Across 38 minutes of action, Maledon also picked up one rebound and one […]

Gordon Hayward Out Again On Friday Night

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (thumb) is out on Friday against the Rockets. His season is probably over, which isn't surprising, considering the Hornets have nothing to play for. With Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) also sidelined, Bryce McGowens should remain in the starting lineup. The 20-year-old has averaged 11.0 points in five starts this season. […]

Top Five Greatest Midseason Turnarounds In NBA History

The LA Lakers have made many people look foolish this season. After a terrible start to the season, LeBron James and his teammates have been on a roll and are now guaranteed a spot in the play-in tournament. NBA history tends to repeat itself, and we can probably learn a lot about the Lakers' postseason […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Will Remain Out Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (toe) will sit out Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. Theo Maledon should continue to start with Smith missing his fourth straight game and is one of the only true point guards healthy right now. Maledon posted a solid line of 14 assists, eight points, eight rebounds and one block […]

These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. To Miss Tuesday's Game

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Raptors. No surprise here, as Charlotte will also be without Terry Rozier (foot), Gordon Hayward (thumb), P.J. Washington (ankle), and potentially Dennis Smith Jr. (toe). As a result, guys like JT Thor, Kai Jones, Svi Mykhailiuk, Bryce McGowens, and Theo Maledon […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable Against Toronto

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (toe) may sit out on Tuesday against Toronto. He missed the last three games because of a right great toe sprain and is listed as questionable on the league's official injury report. However, with Charlotte limping to the end of the regular season, it would be surprising to see […]

Gordon Hayward To Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (thumb) won't play against the Raptors. The veteran has a sprained thumb and missed the last three games as a result. However, Charlotte has nothing to play for, so Hayward's year is probably done. Nevertheless, with Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder), Terry Rozier (foot), and P.J. Washington (ankle) also out, Bryce […]

P.J. Washington Won't Suit Up Versus Toronto

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (ankle) won't suit up on Tuesday against Toronto. The 24-year-old tweaked his ankle in Friday's meeting with Chicago and didn't play on Sunday in the first of back-to-back games against the Raptors. JT Thor took his spot in the starting lineup for that one, although he finished with only eight […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable For Sunday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (toe) could miss a third consecutive game, with the team listing him as questionable for Sunday's meeting with Toronto. The 25-year-old has again emerged as a viable fantasy option late in the season, but a sprained toe has kept him off the court lately. Smith Jr.'s absence has […]

Terry Rozier Out Again Versus The Raptors

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (foot) is out again on Sunday versus the Raptors. The 29-year-old has missed the last three games because of right foot discomfort. Considering Charlotte has nothing left to play for, Rozier may have already played his final game this season. That said, Dennis Smith Jr. (foot) is questionable, so Theo […]

P.J. Washington Uncertain For Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Raptors. The 24-year-old sprained his right ankle during Friday's game versus the Bulls. However, it appears he is trending in the wrong direction, so it's likely he won't be out there. If that's the case, JT Thor, who had 10 points and […]

Gordon Hayward Doubtful Again On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (thumb) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's meeting with Toronto. The Hornets are limping to the end of the regular season, so it wouldn't be surprising if Hayward didn't suit up again in 2022-23. Charlotte also has P.J. Washington (foot), Dennis Smith Jr. (toe), and Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) […]

P.J. Washington Scores Career-High 43 Points

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington turned in a new career-high on Tuesday as the team took down the Oklahoma City Thunder by three points. The 24-year-old registered 43 points, six rebounds, five assists, and one steal on 16-for-24 shooting from the floor and 5-for-9 from beyond the arc. Washington just could not be stopped all […]

Terry Rozier Out Again On Tuesday Evening

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (foot) won't play on Tuesday in OKC. Rozier will now miss his third consecutive game because of a sore foot. Considering Charlotte's season is unofficially over, fantasy managers may not see him back until the 2023-24 campaign. Nevertheless, it will be business as usual on Tuesday night, with Dennis Smith […]

Gordon Hayward Unlikely To Play Against OKC

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (thumb) isn't expected to play in Tuesday's game against OKC. This isn't good news for Charlotte, especially considering Terry Rozier (foot) is out and Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is questionable. Assuming the sprained thumb keeps Hayward out of the lineup, Oubre would benefit on the scoring end. However, if he doesn't […]

Nick Richards (C, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie Mark Williams returned to the Charlotte Hornets' rotation on Friday and logged 21 minutes coming off the pine. Nick Richards started at center for the seventh consecutive time, but keep in mind Williams had done so for 12 straight games before […]

P.J. Washington Outsanding Again Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington had another very strong outing in Sunday's 110-104 win over Dallas, scoring 21 points and adding 12 rebounds with four assists, one steal and one block. That's now back-to-back 20-point efforts for the former Kentucky man, although his efficiency from the field could've been better on Sunday, as Washington finished […]
