Returning to first unit
Ball is starting against the Jazz on Saturday.
Análise
As expected, Ball is back in his regular role as the Hornets' starting point guard after coming off the bench the last time out purely due to maintenance reasons. Ball is averaging 18.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his last five appearances.

Drops 33 points with eight dimes
Ball popped off for 33 points (12-24 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and three steals over 27 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
Análise
With Thursday's game coming as the second leg of a back-to-back set, Ball was brought off the bench in an effort to conserve his minutes, and it'll be interesting to see if that continues in future back-to-back sets. The reserve role didn't impact Ball's statistical production, as he secured his third 30-plus point performance of the season and fell just one triple shy of matching his season high in three-point makes. Ball will look to keep rolling Saturday with a favorable matchup against the Jazz.

Shifting to bench
Ball isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pacers.
Análise
Ball was given the green light to play shortly before tipoff after shaking a probable tag, but he'll take on a new role Thursday night. This marks the first time he'll be utilized off the bench this season, and it comes after he's had his fair share of shooting struggles, hitting at a clip of 40.4 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from deep over his last four matchups.

Available to play
Ball (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Pacers.
Análise
Ball was being listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. Ball was held to just 15 points on 7-for-20 shooting his last time out, but he should have a good chance of bouncing back Thursday with a favorable matchup against the Pacers.

Probable to play Thursday
Ball is probable to play Thursday against the Pacers due to right ankle soreness.
Análise
Ball will likely play through both legs of the Hornets' back-to-back set despite experiencing soreness in his right ankle. In his last 11 appearances, Ball is averaging 19.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.3 blocks and 4.3 threes across 26.5 minutes.

Quiet outing in win
Ball ended Monday's 124-97 win over Oklahoma City with 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes.
Análise
This wasn't Ball's best night, obviously, and it didn't help his case that he picked up five fouls. The Hornets are trending up with two straight wins, and if they can push for a playoff spot, that will certainly help Ball's fantasy outlook down the stretch.
