Vasilije Micic

Micic dished out a season-high 12 assists on Thursday, finishing the loss one shy of his career-high. Rostered in 12% of Yahoo leagues, he's provided 12th-round value in 8-cat formats over the last two weeks. That isn't great value, but it's good enough to justify Micic being rostered in more leagues until LaMelo Ball returns.

Micic logged 31 and 34 minutes in the two games the Hornets played without the injured LaMelo Ball (calf). With Tre Mann (back) also sidelined, Micic will play plenty of minutes for the foreseeable future. Another player worth watching is Cody Martin, who finished Saturday's loss with 12 points, six rebounds, five assists, and one 3-pointer in 26 minutes off the bench.

Wong's signing has been prompted by injuries to LaMelo Ball and Tre Mann. The former will be sidelined for at least two weeks. Wong gives the Hornets another option on the perimeter, but Vasilije Micic and KJ Simpson will be the top two options at point guard. To complete Wong's signing, the Hornets must waive someone, with Jared Rhoden expected to be that player.

With LaMelo Ball and Tre Mann sidelined, Micic will now handle the starting point guard responsibilities. KJ Simpson and Nick Smith Jr. will also play rotation minutes, but Micic is the player fantasy managers should target.

Micic (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
