Knueppel registered 18 points (5-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 victory over the Hawks.

TheHornets are one of the hottest teams in the league, winning 10 of their last 11 games. Knueppel has been a key reason for that, posting averages of 18.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.5 three-pointers on 48.5 percent shooting in that span.

Hall finished Wednesday's 110-107 win over Atlanta with 11 points (3-7 FG, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes off the bench.

With Charlotte's starting frontcourt of Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate suspended after Monday's brawl with Detroit, Hall saw the court in an NBA game for the first time since Jan. 8 and produced his first career double-double. Diabate and Bridges will be sidelined until Feb. 24, giving Hall three chances to try and repeat Wednesday's performance.

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.

Miller racked up 31 points (10-26 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 win over Atlanta.

The third-year forward stepped up for theHornets with Miles Bridges (suspension) unavailable, delivering his best scoring effort since he dropped 33 points on the Warriors on New Year's Eve. Miller has produced 30-plus points four times in total this season, and he's scored in double digits in 17 straight contests, averaging 22.1 points, 5.4 boards, 3.3 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.2 steals over that span.

Kalkbrenner is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Hawks.

Kalkbrenner is getting the start due to Moussa Diabate (suspension) being unavailable, and the former will be joined in the first unit by LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel and Grant Williams. Over 26 starts this season, Kalkbrenner has registered averages of 8.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.

Williams will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

With Miles Bridges (suspension) unavailable, Williams will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Through four February appearances, the seventh-year forward has averaged 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 19.3 minutes per tilt.

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.

The NBA suspendedBridges for four games for his altercation Monday against the Pistons, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Isaiah Stewart received the biggest suspension with seven games, and Bridges was right behind him with four. Fantasy managers knew something like this was coming, and now Bridges is ineligible to play until Feb. 24 against the Bulls. In the meantime, players such as Grant Williams and Sion James could see more minutes for theHornets.

McNeeley (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

McNeeley will miss another game while dealing with a left ankle sprain. He'll need to wait at least until after the All-Star break to return to the court for Charlotte.

Kalkbrenner accumulated six points (3-4 FG) and four rebounds over 17 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to Detroit.

With Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate likely facing suspensions for their altercation during this game, Kalkbrenner is expected to step into a much larger role for Charlotte. The rookie is capable of averaging a double-double with plenty of blocks if the minutes are there, so he's set up to be a strong streaming option for the short term.

Williams racked up 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to the Pistons.

With Miles Bridges facing a suspension, and likely Moussa Diabate as well, Williams could be asked to step into a larger role for theHornets, much like he did Monday. Williams is certainly on the radar as a short-term streaming option, but his workloads are unlikely to be massive with the team exercising caution with his knee.

Charlotte recalledHall from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.

Hall is set to rejoin theHornets ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks and could be thrust into the rotation with center Moussa Diabate and forward Miles Bridges facing potential suspensions for their roles in a brawl that broke out during Monday's loss to the Pistons. A two-way player, Hall hasn't appeared in a game for Charlotte since Jan. 8. He's averaging 5.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.7 blocks, 0.5 assists and 0.1 steals in 11.8 minutes per game over 13 appearances with the Hornets this season.

TheHornets recalledSalaun from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.

With Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate facing potential suspensions after being ejected following a brawl that broke out during Monday's 110-104 loss to Detroit, Salaun will be called up to provide reinforcement in the frontcourt. Expect the second-year player to be included in the rotation in Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
