Scores 17 points in win
Kalkbrenner produced 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during Sunday's 110-87 win over the Nuggets.
Análise
Kalkbrenner returned to the bench on Sunday after starting Saturday against the Warriors and matched a season high in points with 17 on 8-of-10 shooting. It marked his 13th game shooting 80 percent or better from the field this season, trailing only Rudy Gobert for the league lead. However, the rookie big man has now gone four straight games without recording a block, his longest drought of the season.

Steps into starting role
Kalkbrenner will start Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Análise
Kalkbrenner will draw the start after the team downgraded Moussa Diabate (hamstring) to out. Kalkbrenner has plenty of experience as a starter so far this season and is averaging 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 blocks in his last six appearances with the first unit.

Continues to come off bench
Kalkbrenner totaled nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 win over the Lakers.
Análise
After missing 10 straight games due to an elbow injury, Kalkbrenner returned to action in Utah on Jan. 10 and posted 12 points and nine rebounds in 23 minutes. However, over his past two appearances, the rookie center has totaled only 11 points and six rebounds in 28 minutes. It's unclear if Kalkbrenner is still managing an injury or if the Hornets are just being overly cautious. Either way, Moussa Diabate has been the more productive center for Charlotte in recent games.
