Charlotte Hornets

Nick Smith Jr. scored 24 points (9-20 FG, 6-11 3PT) to go along with six rebounds, three assists and one steal in the Hornets 120-110 win over the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact: Smith saw 33 minutes of playing time off the bench. The rookie will likely remain in a depth role for Charlotte next season.

Marques Bolden scored 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3PT) to go along with eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks in the Hornets 120-110 win over the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact: Bolden got the start at center with Nick Richards and Grant Williams sidelined. He signed a two-way contract with the Hornets in the first week of March, and took advantage of his opportunity in the season finale.

JT Thor scored 20 points (8-11 FG, 3-6 3PT, 1-2 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks in the Hornets 120-110 win over the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact: Thor played 41 minutes in the start, recording his first career double-double. He was able to take advantage of the opportunity he saw, but likely remains off the fantasy radar next season.

Fantasy Impact: The Hornets rotation will be short-handed in the season finale with the majority of the starters sitting. Tre Mann, Nick Smith Jr., Bryce McGowens, Aleksej Pokusevski and JT Thor should all see more minutes as a result.

Aleksej Pokusevski scored 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in the Hornets 115-114 win over the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact: Pokusevski continues to play a major role off the bench for Charlotte. He should remain in a similar role over the final two games of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Ball has been out for over two months because of an ankle injury, and now the team has made the decision to shut him down for the rest of the season as he continues to rest and recover from it. He has struggled with several different injuries over the past few seasons, and fantasy managers can only hope that he will be able to stay healthy in 2024.

Hornets GM Mitch Kupchak said Mark Williams will be re-evaluated again in another four weeks. (Source: James Plowright on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Kupchak was "wary" to promise he will be back playing on the court in four weeks. “He did see a specialist in the last week (Kupchak refers to him as the best specialist in the country), it will take some time but he does expect 100% a return to play,” Kupchak said. Nick Richards should remain the starting center for Charlotte in the meantime.

The Charlotte Hornets have waived Frank Ntilikina. (Source: Charlotte Hornets on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ish Smith was also waived. If LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains sidelined, recently acquired Tre Mann could start at point guard next game for the Hornets.
