In Friday’s game against the Magic, LaMelo Ball contributed 23 points, two rebounds, and five assists, despite the Hornets facing a blowout loss. Ball’s shooting, particularly from the free-throw line and three-point range, was a bright spot, as he converted 6-of-6 free throws and sank three from beyond the arc. While his minutes saw a decrease this season, Ball’s ability to maintain health across 72 games suggests he remains a reliable fantasy option moving forward.
