Hornets' Sion James: Scoreless again Wednesday
James ended Wednesday's 94-87 loss to the Cavaliers with zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes.
James failed to score for the second straight game, continuing what has been an unproductive stretch, despite playing meaningful minutes on most nights. In 16 games over the past month, James has averaged just 4.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 23.7 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top-250 players in nine-category leagues.

Hornets' Sion James: Nearly double-doubles
James posted nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 win over the Lakers.
Charlotte's starters all played big roles in this one, but James made the most of his limited workload off the bench, mostly on the rebounding front. He's been off the fantasy radar in most formats recently, as he's averaging 24.0 minutes over his last 11 outings with 5.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 three-pointers.

James (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
James is dealing with an illness and is at risk of missing Monday's contest. With Kon Knueppel (ankle) out, James would be slated for a significant role if available against Milwaukee. If he sits, Collin Sexton and Josh Green could see expanded roles.

Hornets' Sion James: Quiet in 21 minutes
James provided seven points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 139-132 loss to the Cavaliers.
With the Hornets close to full strength, James may struggle to find enough minutes and touches to make a fantasy impact outside of deeper formats. Over his last five games, James has averaged 8.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest.

Hornets' Sion James: Draws start Sunday
James is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
James will replace KJ Simpson in the first unit with LaMelo Ball (ankle) out once again. Although James is listed as the starting point guard, it's likely that Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller initiate most of the offense.

Hornets' Sion James: Rare offensive showing
James racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Friday's 129-126 loss to Chicago.
James scored double digits for just the seventh time this season, a welcome sight for anyone who streamed him in. While the offensive production was unexpected, his defensive contributions continue to be mostly underwhelming. At this stage, it appears as though James could end up being a player whose real-life value outweighs his fantasy value, making him a hard player to trust outside of deeper formats.

Hornets' Sion James: Not starting Friday
James is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Raptors.
The rookie will return to a reserve role with Brandon Miller active, but James should still be heavily involved in the rotation with Tre Mann (ankle) unavailable. Through nine games with the second unit this season, James has posted averages of 6.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 triples a night.
