LaMelo Ball - Inefficient in Friday's loss Ball logged 18 points (4-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six assists and two rebounds over 27 minutes during the Hornets' 118-113 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday.

Impact Ball finished tied with Brandon Miller as the Hornets' second-leading scorer behind rookie Kon Knueppel (33 points). However, Ball made just 23.5 percent of his field-goal attempts, and his stat line looked better only because of his eight made free throws. He has connected on 39.6 percent of his field-goal attempts this season, though that number has dropped to 34.8 percent (including 30.0 percent from three on 11.4 3PA/G) since Feb. 2.

Ryan Kalkbrenner - Double-doubles vs. Cleveland Kalkbrenner registered 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block over 36 minutes during the Hornets' 118-113 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday.

Impact The rookie second-rounder finished as the Hornets' leading rebounder en route to the third double-double of his young NBA career (and first since Nov. 3 against the Pelicans). Kalkbrenner has started in each of the Hornets' last three games and should serve in that role against the Wizards on Sunday, though he'll likely revert to a bench role against the Bulls on Tuesday since Moussa Diabate will have served his four-game suspension.

Kon Knueppel - Drains seven triples in loss Knueppel logged 33 points (11-20 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during the Hornets' 118-113 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday.

Impact The No. 4 overall pick paced the Hornets on offense during Friday's loss, tallying 27 of his game-high 33 points between the second and third quarters. It was the third time this season that Knueppel connected on seven triples in a game, and he was one shy from tying a career high that he set against the Mavericks on Jan. 29. He should operate in an elevated role against the Wizards on Sunday, as that will be the last game Miles Bridges will be forced to while serving a four-game suspension.

Sion James - Starting Friday James will start Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact The Hornets will deploy a smaller starting lineup against Cleveland due to Grant Williams (knee) joining Miles Bridges (suspension) and Moussa Diabate (suspension) on the sidelines. As a starter this season (18 games), James has averaged 6.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 29.0 minutes per contest.

Grant Williams - Sitting out Friday Williams will be rested Friday against the Cavaliers.

Impact Williams has not been medically cleared for back-to-back sets yet. He recorded 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Thursday's 105-101 loss to the Rockets, taking advantage of Miles Bridges' suspension. Tidjane Salaun could be more involved as a result Friday.

Liam McNeeley - Out again Friday McNeeley (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact McNeeley will miss a third straight game and remains without a timetable to return. He's been a minor part of the rotation in recent weeks.

Coby White - Remains out Friday White (calf) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers.

Impact White has yet to debut for the Hornets as he continues to nurse a calf strain. For now, he's questionable at best for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
