Spin: Ball returned Saturday from a one-game absence due to a sprained right wrist and led the Hornets in both scoring and assists. He wasn't the most efficient from the field and connected on just 50.0 percent of his free-throw attempts, but Ball will continue to see plenty of volume as Charlotte's clear No. 1 option on offense. Over his last eight outings, Ball has averaged 25.5 points, 7.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 rebounds over 35.2 minutes per game.
