Sets season high in loss
Sexton contributed 22 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and four assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-110 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis
After coming off the bench in each of his previous three outings, the eighth-year guard got the starting nod due to LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) being sidelined. Sexton struggled from three-point range but still finished as Charlotte's second-leading scorer, setting a new season-high mark in points. He has scored in double figures in 10 straight games and continues to provide an offensive spark for the Hornets. While he'll likely shift to a bench role whenever Ball and Miller are available, Sexton is expected to continue seeing significant minutes.

Leads bench with 18 points
Sexton posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during the Hornets' 131-116 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.
Analysis
Sexton led the Hornets' bench in scoring Saturday and was one of five Hornets players to score at least 18 points. The veteran guard's usage on offense was steady despite the return of Brandon Miller, though Sexton's production could dip as the former's playing time increases. Sexton has averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 steals over 25.7 minutes per game since Nov. 1.
