Hornets' Cody Martin: Scores 15 points Thursday
Martin logged 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 overtime win over the Pistons.
Martin was extremely efficient as a scoring weapon despite coming off the bench, and he finished as the Hornets' third-best offensive threat behind the star duo of Brandon Miller (38 points) and LaMelo Ball (35 points). Martin should continue playing off the bench for the foreseeable future, but the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis certainly hurts his upside. This was Martin's first game with double-digit points since Nov. 8, when he also scored 15 points in a win over the Pacers.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Scores career-high 38 points
Miller ended Thursday's 123-121 overtime victory over the Pistons with 38 points (15-26 FG, 8-12 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals over 42 minutes.
Miller came through several times when the Hornets needed him the most, and he was virtually unstoppable in overtime, hitting one tough shot after another en route to posting the best scoring output of his career. Miller has scored at least 20 points four times in 2024-25, and all four outings have come in the current month.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Goes for 35 points in win
Ball contributed 35 points (12-27 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 33 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 123-121 overtime win over the Pistons.
Ball could've won it in regulation for the Hornets with a floater that bounced off the rim, but the star floor general was nonetheless very impactful. Ball has been playing at a high level of late, and he seems to be taking his scoring prowess to a whole new level. He's scored at least 30 points in five of his last seven appearances.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Strong showing off bench
Mann amassed 19 points (7-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 26 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Nets.
The fourth-year guard has been dealing with a sore back that cost him two of the last three games, but Mann looked fit as he produced his best scoring performance since Nov. 1. The four made threes also tied his season high, and he's on pace for career-best numbers from beyond the arc, averaging 2.0 threes while shooting 42.1 percent from long distance to fuel his career-high 14.8 points a game.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Scores 21 in Tuesday's loss
Bridges racked up 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Nets.
It was his biggest workload and best scoring effort in three games since returning to the lineup from a knee injury that cost him three contests, while the five made threes were a season high. Bridges is averaging 19.7 points, 6.0 boards, 4.3 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.0 steals since his return while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (12-for-24) from beyond the arc.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Drops 29 on Brooklyn
Miller racked up 29 points (11-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Nets.
The performance tied his season high in scoring. Miller missed four games early in the season with a hip issue and has had trouble getting his shot to fall consistently since returning, so Tuesday's effort was encouraging. The second overall pick in the 2023 Draft has still drained multiple threes in eight of his nine appearances in November, averaging 17.9 points, 4.4 boards, 4.1 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.6 steals a game on the month.
