Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Serviceable two-way effort
Diabate produced seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over Portland.
Diabate continues to deliver important contributions on both ends of the floor. While his scoring remains modest, to say the least, his ability to rebound at a high rate while adding consistent defensive numbers makes him a clear must-roster player. In seven appearances over the past two weeks, he has put up top-75 value in standard leagues, averaging 8.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.0 combined steals and blocks.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Struggles mightily in loss
Diabate notched two points (1-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Suns.
Diabate swatted four balls, but that was the highlight of his stat line. Ryan Kalkbrenner recorded 19 minutes and had a much better line than Diabate. It will be interesting to see which center the Hornets prefer more as they make a playoff push. The tight battle for playing time limits the fantasy viability of both players.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Nearly double-doubles
Diabate finished with nine points (2-4 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 victory over the Celtics.
Diabate continues to shine as Charlotte's starting center. Meanwhile, rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner has had to settle for a role with minutes in the teens off the bench. With Charlotte eyeing a playoff spot, Diabate's role appears to be locked in.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Second straight double-double
Diabate supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 109-93 victory over Portland.
The fourth-year center recorded his second straight double-double and his 16th of the season. Diabate was suspended for four games in February, and his production when he was on the court was very matchup-dependent -- over seven appearances on the month, he averaged just 8.0 points, 10.1 boards and 3.1 assists in 28.9 minutes.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Enjoys strong all-around night
Diabate had 14 points (7-8 FG), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 win over the Pacers.
Diabate powered his way to his second double-double in six February appearances. He led the Hornets in rebounds and also contributed defensively by accounting for two of Charlotte's 10 steals. Diabate continues to offer solid production across the board as the squad's starting center.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Makes return from suspension
Diabate finished Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls with nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals in 31 minutes.
Diabate played his first game since Feb. 9 after serving a four-game suspension for an altercation with the Pistons, and he didn't miss a beat. After playing 31 minutes in a massive win, it's safe to assume Diabate maintains a grip on the starting center role in Charlotte.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Suspended four games
Diabate was suspended four games for his altercation during Monday's game against Detroit, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Miles Bridges was also suspended for four games, with both players eligible to return Feb. 24 against the Bulls. In Diabate's absence, Ryan Kalkbrenner will likely be asked to step into the starting role, and he'll offer a lot of upside in fantasy for the short term.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Booted from Monday's contest
Diabate was ejected during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Pistons, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. He'll exit with no points (0-1 FG) and six rebounds over 19 minutes.
Diabate was involved in a heated altercation at the 7:09 mark of the third quarter that also included teammate Miles Bridges and opponents Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart, with all four players ejected. It remains to be seen whether additional discipline will follow, but for the remainder of Monday's game, Ryan Kalkbrenner will take on increased responsibilities at center.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Another double-double in win
Diabate accumulated 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Hawks.
Diabate recorded his third double-double in the past six games, helping Charlotte to its ninth straight victory. While his defensive contributions have subsided in recent times, Diabate's play over the past two weeks has played a key role in the team's success. In seven appearances during that time, he has averaged 10.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Firm grip on starting role
Diabate accumulated seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block over 29 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 win over the Rockets.
Diabate started the season in a timeshare for the center position with rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner, but the former has now started in each of his last 20 appearances. The fourth-year big man from Michigan is averaging 9.8 points and 11.0 rebounds per game over his last five contests.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Double-doubles in win
Diabate logged 12 points (6-9 FG), 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during the Hornets' 111-106 win over the Spurs on Saturday.
Diabate led the Hornets in rebounds Saturday en route to his 13th double-double of the season (and third over his last five outings). He has scored in double digits in six consecutive games, and over that span he has connected on 75.6 percent of his field-goal attempts while averaging 12.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over 27.8 minutes per game.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Starting Saturday after all
Diabate is in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Wizards on Saturday.
Ryan Kalkbrenner was originally slated to start Saturday, but the Hornets have opted to make a late change and stick with Diabate in the starting lineup against Washington. Diabate is averaging 8.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks over 24.4 minutes per game this season.

The fourth-year center is up to 11 double-doubles on the season, extending his career high, and three of them have come in his last seven games. Since moving into the starting five just before Christmas, Diabate has pulled down double-digit boards in seven of 14 contests, averaging 8.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 blocks in 29.8 minutes.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Coming off bench Saturday

Diabate has started in each of his last 13 outings, having averaged 8.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 blocks in 29.6 minutes per game over that span. However, the fourth-year pro will come off the bench Saturday while rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner enters the Hornets' starting five.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Cleared to play
Diabate (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Likely to play Sunday
Diabate (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
Diabate was held out of Saturday's loss to Golden State due to a right hamstring strain, though he's likely to return for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over six outings (all starts) this month, the big man has averaged 9.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 30.5 minutes per contest.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Not playing Saturday
Diabate (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Diabate popped up on Friday's injury report due to right hamstring soreness. The injury will prevent him from playing Saturday, but he could return for the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back set Sunday against the Nuggets. With Diabate sidelined, Ryan Kalkbrenner will likely enter the Hornets' starting five, while Grant Williams and PJ Hall are candidates to see extended minutes as well.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Questionable for Saturday
Diabate is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring soreness.
The hamstring issue is a new concern for Diabate, who has been a regular on the injury report so far this month due to hip and wrist injuries. If the big man is not cleared to play in the front end of this back-to-back set, Ryan Kalkbrenner would likely step into the starting five, while PJ Hall could enter the Charlotte rotation.
