Hornets Rule Out LaMelo Ball Again
3 months agoCharlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will once again miss Monday's tilt versus the Los Angeles Lakers. The 10-38 Hornets are clearly in no rush to bring back their franchise centerpiece, considering they continue to rule him out well in advance of tip-offs. Ball's next shot to return comes on Wednesday when Charlotte hosts the Toronto Raptors, but since it's unclear if the All-Star point guard is even practicing at this point, we wouldn't hold our breath on that happening. With Melo on the shelf and Terry Rozier recently shipped to the Heat, Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges have operated as the engines on offense. The Lakers have struggled to defend opposing forwards this year, so both Miller and Bridges feature plenty of DFS appeal if this contest stays close.
