LaMelo Ball narrowly misses double-double Saturday
by David Leisering | Hornets Correspondent | Sun, Feb 8th 3:33pm EST
LaMelo Ball scored 19 points (8-20 FG, 2-8 3PT, 3-3 FT) and dished out a team-high nine assists to lift the Hornets to a 126-119 win over the Hawks on Saturday night.
Fantasy Impact:
Ball has now reached double figures in scoring in nine straight games which has helped the Hornets to nine consecutive wins. During the stretch, Ball is averaging 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game. The only thing truly keeping Ball from an elite fantasy player are his shooting percentages. While he is an excellent free throw shooter (88.2%), Ball is hitting just 40.3% from the floor and 36.3% from deep this season.
