Encounters foul trouble Ball recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists over 25 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 116-111 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Ball was limited to just 25 minutes in the loss as a result of early fouls, eventually seeing him foul out of the game. With reduced minutes came reduced production, much to the disappointment of managers everywhere. With that said, the eight assists were nice, and given his body of work thus far this season, he should be able to turn things around in a hurry.

Impact Matched up against Ja Morant, Ball held his own and recorded his seventh double-double of the season, but he got little help from the rest of the Hornets. The third-year point guard has been on fire since getting healthy in mid-December, starting 12 straight games and averaging 24.8 points, 8.3 assists, 6.4 boards, 4.3 threes and 1.3 steals.

Does a little of everything in loss Ball logged 24 points (9-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 121-115 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Ball didn't have his most efficient shooting night, but he made a big impact in a variety of other areas. The third-year point guard led the Hornets in assists and finished second in scoring behind Terry Rozier's 27 points. However, Ball's most outstanding fantasy contributions were on defense, as he chipped in a pair of blocks and three steals. He's swatted four shots over his past three games after notching only two blocks over his first 11 contests of the campaign.

The star floor general has been an extremely consistent player, scoring at least 20 points in each of his last 10 contests while also averaging 8.2 assists, 6.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game during that span.

He has also hit at least four triples in every game. After a frustrating start to the season, managers can now sit back and enjoy what could be a fruitful run into the fantasy playoffs.
