Lets it fly in blowout loss
Ball recorded 20 points (6-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 144-117 loss to Miami.
Analysis
Ball led the Hornets in points, rebounds and assists on the way to a near triple-double. He didn't post his best shooting performance by any means but still managed to reach the 20-point threshold given his volume of attempts. Ball continues to be one of the focal points of Charlotte's offense, and he's scored 20 or more points in each of his first four matchups of the 2025-26 season.

Triple-doubles in win
Ball erupted for 38 points (13-25 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, 13 assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 139-113 win over the Wizards.
Analysis
The Wizards had absolutely zero answers for Ball, who got whatever he wanted all game long. He converted deep threes, got to the line with ease, and went to work battling for boards amongst the trees. Ball has gotten off to a scorching start this season, and if he can maintain this pace, he should easily nab his second All-Star selection.

Leads Hornets with 27 points
Ball posted 27 points (8-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 loss to the 76ers.
Analysis
Ball led the Hornets in scoring and steals in the losing effort against Philadelphia on Saturday night. The 24-year-old is averaging 23.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game over two outings to begin the 2025-26 season. Ball will look to keep things going against the Wizards on Sunday in the second night of a back-to-back.

Scores 20 points with eight dimes
Ball recorded 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-5 FT), eight assists, two rebounds, one steal and three turnovers in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 win over Brooklyn.
Analysis
While Ball wasn't great at the charity stripe, he did do an excellent job of distributing the rock, and he didn't commit his first turnover until late into the fourth quarter. He'll be a reliable source of points, triples and dimes this season, so if he can manage to stay healthy, he could be in for a career year.
