LaMelo Ball will be sidelined for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans due to an ankle injury, missing his second consecutive matchup. This paves the way for rookie Sion James to potentially start again after a promising performance on Sunday. Fantasy managers might consider James for streaming, while Collin Sexton and Kon Knueppel are expected to see increased roles in Ball’s absence.

LaMelo Ball’s status remains uncertain for Tuesday’s matchup against the Pelicans due to an ankle issue. His absence in Sunday’s victory over the Jazz saw rookie Sion James step into the starting lineup, with Collin Sexton taking over point guard duties. Both performed well and are viable options if Ball remains out, while Kon Knueppel also holds fantasy value. If Ball returns, Sexton and Knueppel maintain some value, but James would likely see reduced opportunities.

LaMelo Ball is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Jazz due to an ankle issue that he managed to play through on Saturday. As a result, Tre Mann is expected to start and potentially be a valuable streaming option, while Sion James is likely to see additional minutes off the bench for the Hornets.

LaMelo Ball has been cleared to play in Saturday’s matchup against the Timberwolves after being initially listed as questionable due to an ankle injury. The Hornets’ point guard, who was upgraded to probable earlier, is expected to resume his regular starting duties, providing a boost to Charlotte’s lineup.

LaMelo Ball’s status for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves is uncertain due to a right ankle impingement. This injury raises concerns given his previous ankle issues, including surgery earlier this year. If Ball is unable to play, Collin Sexton and Tre Mann are likely to see more playing time, though it’s unclear who would secure a starting role.

LaMelo Ball’s Thursday performance against the Magic saw him contribute significantly across multiple categories, posting 17 points, seven rebounds, and 13 assists, despite the Hornets’ loss. While Ball limited turnovers, he struggled with his shooting, going 1-of-9 from beyond the arc. He continues to offer top-tier fantasy value, particularly in turnover-punt models, as the Hornets prepare for their upcoming back-to-back games against the Timberwolves and Jazz.

LaMelo Ball’s recent performance against the Magic showcased his overall playmaking skills despite his shooting woes, with 17 points, seven rebounds, 13 assists, and two steals. His struggles from beyond the arc continued, hitting just 1-of-9 three-pointers, although he maintains a career-best percentage for the season.
