Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Goes scoreless in loss
Moussa Diabate produced three rebounds across nine minutes during Monday's 115-108 overtime loss to Chicago.Diabate continues to play a muted role off the bench, typically serving as the third-string center behind Mark Williams and Nick Richards. Despite being one of the better offensive rebounders in the league, Diabate's offensive game is basically non-existent. Barring injuries to either Williams or Richards, Diabate is unlikely to step into a meaningful role any time soon.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Still out Sunday
Moussa Diabate (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.An illness will cost Diabate both halves of Charlotte's weekend back-to-back set. He should have plenty of time to recover before attempting to suit up Friday in Chicago. Mark Williams has been limited off the bench since making his season debut, while Nick Richards is nursing an ankle injury, so Taj Gibson is a candidate for playing time in Diabate's absence.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Thrives as defensive presence
Moussa Diabate notched two points (1-2 FG), eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 95-84 loss to the Magic.Diabate is not going to be asked to carry the team offensively, but he should remain in the rotation as long as he gives the Charlotte Hornets quality minutes on the defensive side of the ball. He's grabbed seven or more rebounds in all but one of his last nine games, a span in which he's averaging 3.7 points, 11.2 boards, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals per contest. He could be a decent streaming option in category-based formats due to his defensive and rebounding contributions, although the impending returns of Miles Bridges (knee), Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) limits Diabate's upside.
