Fantasy Impact

Ball made his regular-season debut for the Timberwolves on Wednesday night. He looked pretty good, scoring 21 points on respectable shooting splits. He is expected to be a good fantasy option over the course of the season, even if he doesn't quite reach the heights of his new teammate Anthony Edwards.

LaMelo Ball has been traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 first round pick, three first round pick swaps, and three second round picks. Charlotte is also sending Josh Green to Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact

This is a massive trade for the Hornets who are coming off of a promising year with their young core. Now that will need to be rebuilt, and LaMelo will look to give the Timberwolves a fierce backcourt duo alongside Anthony Edwards. He won’t be the No.1 option for a team anymore, but Ant should open things up for LaMelo on offense.

The Timberwolves and Raptors have emerged as two of the teams with trade interest in Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball.

Fantasy Impact

These trade rumors have come up shortly after the NBA Draft. They remain rumors for now, but it is a situation to monitor closely as Ball could potentially be on the move.

LaMelo Ball scored 19 points (7-19 FG, 5-16 3P) with seven rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a block in the Hornets’ 110-96 win over the Knicks on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Ball was raining threes all night, but wasn’t particularly efficient with it, though it wasn’t awful either. Still, he’s looking good heading into their play-in matchup against the Heat.

LaMelo Ball scored 36 points (12-24 FG, 6-15 3PT, 6-6 FT) to go along with five rebounds, six assists and one steal in the Hornets 113-102 loss against the Celtics.

Fantasy Impact

Ball has now combined to score 71 points in his last two games. His ceiling has remained high all season when he has stayed healthy.
