Mark Williams Questionable Versus Utah

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz.

He took advantage of his extra playing time, finishing with a double-double and two blocks. […]

Mark Williams Won't Return On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) won't return to Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man suffered a sprained right thumb during the first half of this contest.

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 20

It's time for the playoffs! Most leagues start the playoffs this week unless you are in a non-typical format. You simply can't get too attached to anyone this time of year. If you have a stud that is going to be out more than a week or someone who's badly underperforming- just cut bait and […]

LaMelo Ball Post-Mortem: Fantasy Basketball Impact

On Tuesday, the Charlotte Hornets made it official when they shut down their star guard LaMelo Ball for the remainder of the 2022-2023 NBA season. Many fantasy managers' worst fears were realized when Ball's non-contact injury in Monday night's game against Detroit turned out to be a fractured ankle. Charlotte's season was already lost, but […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 19

Week 19 is winding down and so is the fantasy basketball season as most leagues will start playoffs soon (or maybe you have even already started).

P.J. Washington Considered Doubtful For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) has been tagged as doubtful again for their next contest against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. The 24-year-old has missed the last two games with a right foot strain and it looks more than likely that he'll miss at least a third. JT Thor might move into the starting […]

LaMelo Ball To Miss Remainder Of The Season

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) had some preliminary x-rays done after exiting their game on Monday night and was found to have a fractured right ankle.

LaMelo Ball Fractures Ankle Monday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) suffered a fractured right ankle Monday against the Detroit Pistons and will be out indefinitely.

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This doesn't come as a surprise after Washington was listed as doubtful heading into this game. JT Thor is set to make his second straight start, but he didn't do much on Saturday.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Malaki Branham, Mark Williams, Josh Richardson

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a much quieter Monday night than usual, as there are only four games on the slate after a very busy first four days following the All-Star break.

P.J. Washington Doubtful To Play Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (foot) is doubtful to play Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Washington missed Charlotte's last game with a right foot strain and will likely miss a second straight game on Monday. JT Thor got the spot start on Saturday, but did very little in 25 minutes.
