Ball contributed 25 points (9-21 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 123-92 victory over the Pelicans. Ball returned Saturday from a one-game absence due to a sprained right wrist and led the Hornets in both scoring and assists. He wasn't the most efficient from the field and connected on just 50.0 percent of his free-throw attempts, but Ball will continue to see plenty of volume as Charlotte's clear No. 1 option on offense. Over his last eight outings, Ball has averaged 25.5 points, 7.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 rebounds over 35.2 minutes per game.

Team-high 25 points vs. NOLA
Ball contributed 25 points (9-21 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 123-92 victory over the Pelicans. Ball returned Saturday from a one-game absence due to a sprained right wrist and led the Hornets in both scoring and assists. He wasn't the most efficient from the field and connected on just 50.0 percent of his free-throw attempts, but Ball will continue to see plenty of volume as Charlotte's clear No. 1 option on offense. Over his last eight outings, Ball has averaged 25.5 points, 7.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 rebounds over 35.2 minutes per game.
Cleared to play Saturday
Ball (wrist) is available to play against the Pelicans on Saturday. Ball was held out of Friday's 102-97 loss to the Trail Blazers due to a sprained right wrist, but the injury isn't severe enough for him to miss a second straight game. Over his last seven outings, Ball has averaged 25.6 points, 7.9 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 35.9 minutes per game; however, he's shot just 39.6 percent from the field over that span (including 29.5 percent from three on 11.1 3PA/G).
Expected to play Saturday
Ball (wrist) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers. Ball is expected to return to action Saturday after missing Charlotte's previous contest due to a right wrist injury. The star guard should reclaim his starting spot from Vasilije Micic if he's upgraded to available.
Ruled out Friday
Ball (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers. The Hornets will be shorthanded for Friday's game against Portland, with two of their best players ruled out. Miles Bridges (back) will join Ball watching from the sideline. This will be the 12th game that the star guard will miss for Charlotte this season, but it could be a resting situation, as the Hornets play the second game of a back-to-back Saturday against the Pelicans.
Iffy against Portland
Ball is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a sprained right wrist, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. Ball is in danger of missing his first contest since Jan. 3 due to a sprained right wrist. If the star guard is ultimately downgraded to out, Vasilije Micic will likely receive increased playing time.
Keeps 20-point streak alive
Ball posted 22 points (7-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Grizzlies. Ball has been among the highest-scoring guards in the Eastern Conference this season, with the freedom to shoot on a rebuilding team. His numbers are worth highlighting since he's been an absolute stud in fantasy, even though the availability has been an issue at times. He's scored at least 20 points in his last 10 appearances, averaging 26.7 points, 8.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game in that stretch.
All-around showing in victory
Ball provided 23 points (8-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 110-105 win over the Mavericks. Ball did a little bit of everything to lift Charlotte to victory Monday, leading all players in assists to go along with a team-high-tying scoring total while finishing second on the team in rebounds in a balanced showcase. Ball has tallied at least 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in six contests this season while posting at least 20 points in nine consecutive outings.
Records season-high three blocks
Ball registered 27 points (11-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and three blocks across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 victory over Utah. Ball was one assist shy of recording his third straight double-double in Wednesday's win. While the star guard also tallied a season-high three blocks, he continued to struggle with his outside shot. Across Ball's last five outings, he is converting just 28.8 percent of his 13.2 three-point attempts per contest.
Double-doubles in loss Sunday
Ball racked up 25 points (9-25 FG, 5-17 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and three steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 loss to the Suns. Ball might have needed 25 shots to score 25 points, but fantasy managers will gladly overlook the efficiency issues given his production across the board. The star floor general has been limited to just seven games since the beginning of December due to several injuries and postponements, but he's been outstanding when available. Since then, he's averaging 26.3 points, 8.6 assists and 5.6 rebounds per contest.
