KJ Simpson logs 30 minutes in start against Warriors

KJ Simpson moved into the starting lineup Tuesday with LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined, finishing with 16 points (7-of-18 FG, 1-of-6 3PT, 1-of-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, and two steals in a loss to Golden State.

Fantasy Impact:

Simpson has now played at least 30 minutes in three straight games, but his production hasn’t stood out, and Charlotte has lost all three contests. While the increased workload is a positive, he hasn’t been particularly effective, making him a tough fantasy option outside of deep leagues. Until he starts producing more consistently, he remains more of a watchlist player rather than a viable waiver wire pickup.
