Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Stuffs stat sheet in loss
LaMelo 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.

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.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Hits nine threes before fouling out
LaMelo Ball notched 34 points (10-20 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 125-120 loss to the Hawks.Ball's night could have been even bigger had he not fouled out late in the fourth quarter. Still, his nine three-point makes is a career high, and the 2020 first-round pick has opened up the 2024-25 campaign with back-to-back 34-point outings. Ball and the Charlotte Hornets will head back to Charlotte to host Jimmy Butler and the Heat on Saturday.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Dominant performance Wednesday
LaMelo Ball had 34 points (10-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 win over the Rockets.Ball looked every bit the superstar, carrying the Charlotte Hornets to an impressive road victory in the season opener. Often talked about for all the wrong reasons, Ball will be looking to put his injury history behind him. Despite wearing ankle braces, he didn't appear limited at all, a welcome sight for anyone who took a chance on him in drafts. He should be an elite source of points, threes, assists and steals, while also converting at a high rate from the free-throw line.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Nears 30-point triple-double
LaMelo Ball posted 34 points (10-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 victory over Houston.Playing in his first regular-season game since January 26, Ball didn't have to shake off any rust, knocking down 50 percent of his attempts and falling two rebounds shy of a triple-double. He was integral to Charlotte's comeback effort, tallying 20 points, six rebounds and six assists in the second half, alone. Assuming Ball can stay healthy -- he's played 58 games across the last two seasons -- he'll be one of the most valuable point guards in fantasy basketball.
