Ball contributed 36 points (15-26 FG, 6-12 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and three steals across 37 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Celtics. Ball was the leading scorer of Saturday's contest, and he did most of his damage from deep as he connected on six three-point shots for the second time this season. Through the first six games of the 2024-25 campaign, Ball is averaging 30.2 points, 6.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 34.0 minutes per game.

Ball chipped in 19 points (7-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 victory over the Raptors. Ball's shooting line wasn't particularly efficient, but fantasy managers can live with that, especially when factoring in how much he brings to the table and how versatile he is on a game-to-game basis. This was the first time the star guard didn't reach the 20-point mark, but he's still enjoying an impressive start to the campaign with averages of 28.5 points, 7.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in his first four contests.

Ball (bruise) racked up 27 points (9-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Heat. Ball struggled from deep and failed to crack the 30-point threshold for the first time through three games. However, it was still a productive outing for the young point guard, who's averaging 31.7 points, 7.3 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game thus far. Whenever Ball is healthy and on the court, he's among the most prolific fantasy producers in the NBA.

Ball (bruise) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat. The Hornets have upgraded Ball to being available, meaning the star guard should handle his regular workload. He should have a prominent role on offense with Brandon Miller (hip) out.
-
Ball is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Heat due to a tailbone contusion. Ball appears to have suffered his injury against Atlanta on Friday and could miss Saturday's contest. If Ball is ultimately ruled out, Vasilije Micic, Tre Mann and Seth Curry (knee) are candidates to receive increased playing time.
