Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Paces team with 22 points
Ball notched 22 points (9-19 FG, 4-12 3Pt), seven rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to Phoenix.
The Hornets are miraculously in Play-In territory, but they were unable to get much going against the Suns. Ball did the heavy lifting while Brandon Miller struggled to find the bottom of the basket, and the former recorded another 20-plus point total after three consecutive games where he failed to reach that milestone.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Drops 21 points vs. Miami
Ball closed with 21 points (7-22 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 128-120 loss to the Heat.
Ball finished Friday's game as the Hornets' third-leading scorer behind Kon Knueppel (27 points) and Brandon Miller (22 points). Ball struggled with his efficiency from the field, but Friday was the 14th time this season that he has connected on at least five three-pointers in a game. Since the All-Star break, Ball has averaged 19.0 points on 37.8 percent shooting along with 6.8 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 3.9 threes and 1.3 steals over 27.2 minutes per game.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Ties career high in win
Ball contributed 15 points (5-19 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine assists, five rebounds, five steals and one block across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 117-90 win over the Mavericks.
Ball struggled mightily with efficiency, though he still finished as Charlotte's second-leading scorer. The star point guard also led the Hornets in assists and steals, matching his career high in swipes. With his five steals Tuesday, the sixth-year pro passed Kendall Gill for eighth place on the Hornets' all-time steals leaderboard. He has tallied at least one steal in six of his seven appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 18.9 points, 7.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals per contest over that stretch.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Returns Tuesday
Ball (undisclosed) returned to Tuesday's game against the Mavericks with 3:35 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Shoots high volume from three
Ball had 16 points (6-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 victory over the Bulls.
After sinking a career-high 10 threes in his last outing, Ball wasn't shy and attempted another 12 against Chicago. He sank four from deep, while matching his season average for assists. Including newcomer Coby White, the Hornets have five players averaging 18 points or more this year, giving Ball the luxury of feeding his teammates or looking for his own shot on a nightly basis.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Makes 10 threes in win
Ball went for 37 points (12-20 FG, 10-15 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 win over the Wizards.
Ball caught fire Sunday, raining in a career-high 10 three-pointers, matching the Hornets' single-game franchise record. His historic performance was cemented on a string of heat checks, during which he connected on four threes in under 100 seconds of game time. His electric shooting performance was rounded out by eight rebounds and a game-high seven assists. Ball's scoring effort is a welcome sign for fantasy managers and Hornets fans alike, as he had averaged just 16.5 points per game on 35.2 percent from the field over his previous 16 games.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Inefficient in Friday's loss
Ball logged 18 points (4-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six assists and two rebounds over 27 minutes during the Hornets' 118-113 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday.
Ball finished tied with Brandon Miller as the Hornets' second-leading scorer behind rookie Kon Knueppel (33 points). However, Ball made just 23.5 percent of his field-goal attempts, and his stat line looked better only because of his eight made free throws. He has connected on 39.6 percent of his field-goal attempts this season, though that number has dropped to 34.8 percent (including 30.0 percent from three on 11.4 3PA/G) since Feb. 2.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Poor showing from field
Ball notched 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 105-101 loss to the Rockets.
Ball was involved in a car accident over the All-Star break, but fortunately, he and the other person escaped without any major injuries. The Hornets are currently one of the hottest teams in the NBA and are looking to sneak into the playoffs, and that bodes well for Ball's fantasy outlook down the stretch.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Strikes for 24 against Atlanta
Ball produced 24 points (8-23 FG, 7-18 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 win over the Hawks.
The 24-year-old guard scored 20-plus points for the fourth time in the last five games and the sixth time in the last 10. Ball's workload and scoring have taken a step back in 2025-26, but over that 10-game stretch, he's still averaging 19.2 points, 6.8 assists, 3.9 boards, 3.8 threes and 0.9 steals in 28.9 minutes.

Ball ended with 20 points (8-22 FG, 4-12 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to the Pistons.
Ball reached the 20-point mark in Monday's narrow loss but did so on inefficient shooting once again. He's scored at least 20 points five times over the past 13 games, though he's failed to shoot 50.0 percent from the field in any of those contests and entered Monday's matchup converting just 36.1 percent during that span.

It wasn't a highly efficient night from Ball, but he managed to sink five triples in the win. Ball has made multiple threes in eight consecutive games. Now in his sixth season, Ball is averaging 19.1 points per game, which is the lowest since his rookie year, while his rebounding and assist numbers are nearly identical to last season.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Available to return
Ball (eye) is available to return to Monday's game against the Pelicans.
After being diagnosed with a right eye laceration due to a collision with head coach Charles Lee during the first quarter, Ball is good to go for the remainder of Monday's contest following a visit to the locker room. The star guard should be able to handle his normal duties, as there's no word that he'll be restricted in any way.
