Hornets' Mark Williams: Won't play Tuesday
Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
Williams continue to rehab from a strained tendon in his left foot that he suffered in late September. He is still limited to individual drills, and unless the Hornets announce that Williams has progressed to team drills and 5-on-5 work, the third-year big man should be considered doubtful to play. Regardless, his next opportunity to make his 2024-25 regular-season debut will be against Detroit on Thursday.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Questionable for Tuesday
Mann (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
Mann was sidelined for Sunday's game against Cleveland as he manages a lower-back injury. If Mann is unable to play Tuesday, Vasilije Micic and Seth Curry would see additional playing time off the Hornets' bench.

Hornets' Cody Martin: Makes impact on defense
Martin provided five points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 25 minutes during Sunday's 128-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
Martin had a massive impact on the defensive end and continues to play well as a utility player for Charlotte. Through 13 appearances this season, Martin has been able to churn out some deep-league fantasy value with averages of 9.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Struggles from field
Miller recorded 15 points (6-20 FG, 3-12 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 128-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
Miller has been in a brutal shooting slump in his last three games. In that stretch, he's hitting 25.5 percent from the field and 20.5 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 12.0 points, 4.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. To his credit, he continues to fire away and the Hornets seem content to keep giving him the green light.

Hornets' Josh Green: Posts solid scoring production
Green finished Sunday's 128-114 loss to the Cavaliers with 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes.
Green put up 15 points for a second straight game with the help of another stellar shooting performance. He's drilled five triples on six attempts over this stretch. It remains to be seen whether Green can remain a reliable scoring option considering he averaged 4.6 points in his first nine appearances of the season before this recent hot spell.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Falls just shy of double-double
Williams chipped in 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 128-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
Williams has come close to grabbing double-digit rebounds a few times this season but wasn't able to snag one more Sunday to record his first double-double of the campaign. He's also seen his scoring production spike of late, as he's put up double figures in three of his last four appearances after doing so only once in his first seven games of the year. As long as Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) remain sidelined, Grant should continue starting at center and playing 30-plus minutes a night.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Flirts with triple-double
Bridges closed Sunday's 128-114 loss to the Cavaliers with 19 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes.
Bridges put together yet another strong all-around performance and dished out a season-best eight assists in the loss. He's logged 27 minutes in two appearances since returning from a knee injury, so the club is evidently still capping his minutes in an effort to ease him back into action. Bridges averaged 30.4 minutes in his first eight games of the campaign and should be expected to regularly reach that threshold once his restriction is lifted.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Officially ruled out
Mann (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Mann will miss the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set due to injury management for a lower-back issue that sidelined him for a loss to the Magic last week. In his absence, Seth Curry and Vasilije Micic are candidates for increased roles. Mann should be available for Tuesday's matchup in Brooklyn.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Will play Sunday
Bridges (knee) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Bridges was listed as questionable prior to being deemed available for Sunday's game, though it's unclear whether he will operate under a minutes restriction. The 26-year-old forward was able to play in Saturday's win over Milwaukee, during which he posted 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Officially available
Ball (finger) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Ball was listed as questionable but didn't appear in any danger of missing the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set. The All-Star point guard played 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-114 win over the Bucks, posting 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Unlikely to play Sunday
Coach Charles Lee said Mann (back) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Cavaliers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Mann will likely miss the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set due to injury management for a lower-back issue that sidelined him for a loss to the Magic last week. In Mann's expected absence, Seth Curry and Vasilije Micic are candidates for increased roles. Mann should be available for Tuesday's matchup in Brooklyn.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Game-time decision Sunday
Bridges (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, will warm up with the intention of playing, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
The club will monitor both LaMelo Ball (finger) and Bridges during warmups and decide if they will play closer to tipoff at 6:00 p.m. ET. If the 26-year-old forward is unable to give it a go, Tidjane Salaun and Moussa Diabate are candidates for increased roles. Bridges was able to play in Saturday's win over Milwaukee, during which he posted 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Warming up Sunday
Coach Charles Lee said Ball (finger), who's listed as questionable, will warm up with the intention of playing in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Ball and Miles Bridges (knee) going through their normal pregame routines is a positive sign for their availability, but they likely won't be officially cleared until right before tipoff at 6:00 p.m. ET. Ball played 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-114 win over the Bucks, posting 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Remains out Sunday
Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Williams has yet to make his season debut while dealing with a strained tendon in his left foot that he sustained before the preseason. The big man was expected to return earlier in the regular season, but he's currently without a clear timeline for a return while he remains limited to individual drills. Though his next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Nets, Williams should be considered doubtful to suit up until the club re-evaluates him and provides a new update.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Questionable for Sunday
Mann is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to lower-back injury management.
Mann missed a game last week due to a back injury but returned to action Saturday against the Bucks and posted 11 points (5-8 FG) in 21 minutes off the bench. If he's sidelined Sunday, Vasilije Micic and Seth Curry would be candidates for a few extra minutes.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Iffy for Sunday
Ball is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left finger sprain.
Ball is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season, and he presumably picked up the finger injury during the first leg of the back-to-back set in the win over Milwaukee on Saturday. If Ball is unable to play, Tre Mann (back), Cody Martin and Vasilije Micic are candidates to receive an uptick in playing time.
