• Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Serviceable results in spot start

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Micic produced 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 106-94 loss to the Thunder. Starting at point guard for the injured LaMelo Ball (wrist), Micic did a serviceable job filling in as Charlotte's floor general with 16 points and four assists from the first unit, but it was Miles Bridges who ultimately saw the largest increase in usage Saturday. Over nine games as a starter this season, Micic has averaged a decent 13.0 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes. If Ball remains sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Bulls, who rank 29th in the NBA in points allowed per game (121.8), Micic would be worth a look as a streamer for fantasy managers in need of dimes and treys.

  Micic won't start Monday's game against the 76ers. With LaMelo Ball (calf) back in action, Micic will retreat to the bench for the first time since Nov. 27. Tre Mann (back) is still sidelined, so Micic should remain in the rotation, though he will likely have a limited role.

  Micic accumulated 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 113-109 win over the Pacers. Micic turned in a solid night from beyond the arc and led the Hornets in assists, nearly securing his second double-double of December. He continues to see a sizable uptick in opportunities while LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back) remain sidelined.

• Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Locks in from downtown

  12/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Micic closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 loss to the Hawks. Micic was able to play through a minor knee injury Saturday and made his second consecutive start without the services of LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back). Micic managed to score in double figures for the first time this season and posted impressive numbers as a passer and on the glass. It may be worth riding the hot hand in Micic until the Hornets get healthy, but he's struggled to see consistent playing time when Ball and Mann are in the rotation.

• Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Getting starting nod

  Micic is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Knicks. Micic will replace LaMelo Ball (calf) in the starting lineup Friday. Micic is averaging 3.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 13.6 minutes across seven appearances this season but should see increased playing time against New York due to Ball's absence.
