Miles Bridges

Miller's return will unsurprisingly push Sion James back to the bench. Also, after a one-game swap, Moussa Diabate will head back to the bench, with Kalkbrenner returning to the starting lineup, though both bigs will continue to split the minutes at center.

Wednesday's start will be the first for Diabate since November 14, and the lineup change raises his fantasy ceiling. His promotion comes at the expense of Ryan Kalkbrenner, who will still see solid time off the bench. However, Kalkbrenner is more valuable to fantasy managers when he's starting.

Bridges had one of his better statistical performances of the season in this one. He matched his season high for assists and approached triple-double territory. Bridges is currently averaging career highs in both points and three-pointers, and the volume of triples has helped to offset the worst field goal percentage of his career. That wasn't an issue in this game, which resulted in one of his best games of the year.

Bridges had a rough night at the foul line, and he did not record any defensive stats, either. Despite limited defensive production, the veteran forward is still providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. As long as Bridges avoids a late-season shutdown, he should remain a reliable option for managers needing scoring at the forward positions.

Kalkbrenner (ankle) returns from a one-game absence to reclaim his spot in the Hornets' starting rotation. As a result, veteran center Mason Plumlee will head back to the bench. Likewise, Ball (ankle) is available after missing the Hornets' loss on Sunday to the Hawks. Charlotte has lost nine of its last 10 games and will look to end its current six-game losing streak.
