Moussa Diabate amassed 18 points (8-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 19 rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in the in over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.Diabate did a little bit of everything for the Hornets in what ended up being arguably his best game as an NBA player. He was accurate from the floor in his 33 minutes of game action and all over the glass, leaving him just shy of a 20-point, 20-rebound performance. Additionally, the fourth-year center provided fantasy managers with a few stocks, helping boost his final stat line in the win. Diabate continues to play well for Charlotte.
Ryan Kalkbrenner produced 13 points (6-of-8 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks in Monday's win over the 76ers.Due to Monday's game being a blowout, Kalkbrenner (26 minutes) played more than starter Moussa Diabate (12 points and five rebounds in 20 minutes). The rookie finished one rebound shy of a double-double, and the overall production was excellent. Kalkbrenner's fantasy ceiling is lower than it was earlier this season since he's coming off the bench, but the 7-foot-1 center is still playing consistent rotation minutes.
