Struggles from field in loss Ball amassed 24 points (9-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-121 loss to the Nets.

Impact Ball might have posted a decent stat line, but he struggled badly from the field as he needed 22 shots just to score 24 points. Despite the shooting woes, it's worth noting that Ball continues to be an asset on both ends of the court for the Hornets even in games in which he's not all that efficient. He has scored exactly 24 points in three of his last four games.

Teases triple-double in win Ball scored 24 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding eight rebounds, seven assists and a block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 123-117 win over the Spurs.

Impact The second-year point guard flashed his skill set in a strong bounce-back performance after early foul trouble limited him to only eight minutes against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Ball still needs to learn to play with more control and consistency, but his overall results remain promising, and even with the one dud in the mix the 20-year-old is averaging 20.5 points, 6.5 assists, 6.1 boards, 3.4 threes and 1.5 steals over the last 10 games.

Hornets top Spurs, leaving Popovich win short of NBA record

Terry Rozier scored 31 points and the Charlotte Hornets beat San Antonio 123-117 on Saturday night, leaving Spurs coach Gregg Popovich a victory short of the tying the NBA record

Hampered by foul trouble Ball produced two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and two steals across eight minutes Wednesday in the Hornets' 119-98 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact For the first time all season, Ball played fewer than 20 minutes. At first glance, fantasy managers may have feared that Ball's night ended early due to an injury or ejection, but it was foul trouble that kept him off the floor for the majority of the game. He picked up his second foul of the game less than five minutes into the contest, then was assessed a third foul with just under two minutes left in the quarter. After sitting out the entire second quarter, Ball picked up his fourth foul three minutes in the third quarter, and with Charlotte sitting out a big lead by that point, head coach James Borrego elected not to reinsert the star point guard for the rest of the night. Fantasy managers shouldn't panic about Ball's outlook moving forward after the game script played out about as badly as possible Wednesday.

Impact After taking a back seat to Terry Rozier and Miles Bridges in Sunday's loss, Ball regained his footing as the team's top scoring option. The Hornets' tight rotation allows maximum opportunity for all of Charlotte's starters, and Ball will continue to benefit, logging as many minutes as he can handle.
