Jusuf Nurkic scored 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 1-3 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block in the Hornets 93-86 loss against the Celtics.

Josh Okogie scored 14 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3PT, 4-5 FT) to go along with two rebounds, two assists and one block in the Hornets 93-86 loss against the Celtics.

Fantasy Impact: Okogie tied Jusuf Nurkic for the team-high in points to end the season. He should remain in a reserve role with Charlotte next season.

Tidjane Salaun scored five points (1-11 FG, 1-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with five rebounds and two assists in the Hornets 93-86 loss against the Celtics.

Fantasy Impact: Salaun struggled from the floor and from deep as did most of the team for Charlotte to end the season. He made nine starts this season across 59 games played, shooting just 34 percent from the field and 29 percent from deep.

Fantasy Impact: The Hornets have ruled out the big man for their final game of the season on Sunday. We won't see him take the court again until the 2025 season, and it remains to be seen what could change with his situation between now and then. Jusuf Nurkic will benefit from his absence in this matchup.

Fantasy Impact: The Hornets have been eliminated from playoff contention for a while now, so it's no surprise that the team will let Bridges sit out for their last game of the season on Sunday. Tidjane Salaun and Seth Curry will both benefit from his absence in this matchup.

KJ Simpson was assessed a Flagrant-2 foul and ejected from Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies after clipping Jaylen Wells mid-air in the second quarter. (Source: Sam Perley on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Simpson finished Tuesday's game with seven points, two rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes. Nick Smith Jr. and Jaylen Sims should see additional minutes in his absence.


Seth Curry (back) will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Curry will be available to play on Sunday. His back injury isn't a serious issue and shouldn't affect him much moving forward. He will continue to benefit from the absences of Josh Green (shoulder) Damion Baugh (hip) for the time being.

Taj Gibson (illness) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Gibson was unable to play on Wednesday due to an illness that he's dealing with, but he is expected to be back in the lineup in time for Friday's game. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to see enough work to be relevant against the Kings.

DaQuan Jeffries logged 24 minutes off the bench while scoring eight points in Wednesday's 119-105 road loss against the Indiana Pacers.

Fantasy Impact: Jeffries was seeing some extra run with Josh Green exiting the game in the first half due to a sore shoulder. Jeffries was just 3-of-7 from the field, but he was a respectable 2-of-4 from behind the arc, while adding two boards and a dime with three assists. Jeffries could have some DFS value as a low-cost DFS against the poor perimeter defense of the Sacramento Kings on Friday, especially if Green cannot go.

Fantasy Impact: Ball is expected to make a full recovery. He is slated to return to full basketball activity within the next 5-6 weeks.

Malachi Flynn ended up contributing five points in 15 minutes off the bench in Monday's 105-102 win in Miami.

Fantasy Impact: Flynn didn't have the best shooting night, going 1-for-5, including 0-for-3 from downtown, but he did add four assists, two steals and a pair of rebounds, too. Flynn's playing time has picked up in the past two outings, averaging 17.0 MPG. The team needs to make a decision on Flynn, as his 10-day contract expires Tuesday. The team could elect to add him on a second 10-day contract. However, only fantasy managers in the deepest leagues need to pay him any mind.

Wendell Moore Jr. is available for Monday's game against the Warriors. (Source: Charlotte Hornets on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Moore is good to go from the concussion protocol. He remains off the fantasy radar.
