Smith chipped in 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 110-105 win over Dallas. Brandon Miller is out indefinitely with a wrist injury, and Smith looks poised to make a significant impact for Charlotte in the short term. In his previous start against the Bulls on Friday, Smith produced 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes. He'll be a popular waiver-wire pickup for good reason.

Latest Hornets News
Nick Smith : Notches 19 points in win
Smith chipped in 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 110-105 win over Dallas. Brandon Miller is out indefinitely with a wrist injury, and Smith looks poised to make a significant impact for Charlotte in the short term. In his previous start against the Bulls on Friday, Smith produced 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes. He'll be a popular waiver-wire pickup for good reason.
Mark Williams : Strong in paint in double-double
Williams accumulated 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 110-105 victory over the Mavericks. Williams was a strong presence in the paint for Charlotte in Monday's contest, leading all Hornets in rebounds and blocks while finishing as the lone player with a double-double in a winning effort. Williams has recorded a double-double in six games this season, doing so now in four straight outings.
Cody Martin : Balanced outing off bench in win
Martin accumulated 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 110-105 victory over Dallas. Martin provided a nice boost off the Hornets bench, finishing second on the team in rebounds and assists while ending as one of six Charlotte players with a double-digit point total. Martin set a new season high in assists, surpassing his previous season high of five dimes, which he has posted four times. He has registered at least 10 points, five rebounds and five assists in two outings, both of which have come off the bench.
LaMelo Ball : 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.
Tre Mann : Another absence coming
Mann (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks. Mann has been sidelined since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation in his back, and there haven't been any signs of him being anywhere close to returning to action. His next chance to play will come against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Tidjane Salaun : Sent to G League
The Hornets assigned Salaun to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday. Salaun will likely be in the G League for only a short stint. The rookie forward averages 4.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.7 minutes across his last 10 NBA outings.
Kenneth Simpson : Sent to G League
The Hornets transferred Simpson to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday. Simpson continues to play in both the NBA and G League as a two-way player. However, the rookie guard should receive increased playing time with the Swarm.
Miles Bridges : Turns in 21 points
Bridges ended Friday's 125-123 victory over the Bulls with 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes. Bridges posted his fourth consecutive game with 20-plus points during a wild win against the Bulls. Although Charlotte's season has been a disappointment, Bridges' consistent play has been a bright spot for the team, and Friday's win was a great example of the Hornets' potential when the first unit is dialed in. Brandon Miller's (wrist) injury deprives the team of its second-best scorer, but Bridges will play a key role in filling the production gap.
