Sat Dec 23 202309:47Cody Zeller Questionable Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans center Cody Zeller (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Houston. He was already unavailable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers with a right ankle sprain and might have to sit out another one. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl did a good job off the bench against Cleveland as the backup big to Jones Valanciunas and should get extra work again on Saturday if the Pelicans can't get their frontcourt healthy. However, there aren't many minutes available behind Valanciunas, so Zeller's potential absence for another game won't have much effect in fantasy hoops.

Tue Aug 1 202307:32Biggest Moves of the 2023 NBA Offseason - Fred VanVleet, Jordan Poole, Kristaps Porzingis, Bradley Beal
It's a crazy time of year around the National Basketball Association. Not long after the Denver Nuggets captured the franchise's first championship, French big manVictor Wembanyama was the top pick of the 2023 Draft.While new talent entering the league is all well and good, nothing turns the NBA upside down quite like the beginning of free agency. Since June 30, many notable players have signed with new teams. There were also more than a few significant trades. In either case, at least a handful of clubs will look very different (for the better?) come training camp. Let's take a look at some of the biggest names on the move and how they might affect the NBA landscape this season. 

Fred VanVleet - Houston Rockets

The Rockets entered the 2022-23 campaign as the second-youngest team in the National Basketball Association, and it showed. The club finished with 22 wins and 60 losses, with the Pistons being the only team with a worse record. As a result, the front office made a point to shake things up after the exhaustingly long year came to a close.The overhaul began when Stephen Silas, winning just 59 of his 236 games in Houston, was relieved of his head coaching duties. In his place, Ime Udoka, who helped guide the Celtics to an NBA Finals appearance in his first season, took the reigns. While Udoka's tenure in Boston didn't end on a positive note, he's still regarded as one of the sharpest minds in the league, even by those who lost respect for him on a personal level.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1650612243661242369?s=20While having a knowledgeable head coach will help accelerate the growth of an up-and-coming squad, the Rockets needed someone to facilitate things on the floor. With Houston having plenty of cap space entering the offseason, the team signed ... [More]
Sun Jun 11 202320:25Cody Zeller Available On Monday Night
Miami Heat center Cody Zeller (nose) is good to go ahead of Monday's playoff matchup against Denver. The big man was listed on the injury report because of a nasal fracture before this series, so his availability isn't a surprise. However, Zeller has averaged only 6.5 minutes per game in the NBA Finals, meaning he won't offer anything to DFS managers.

Wed Jun 7 202319:12Cody Zeller Will Play In Game 3
Miami Heat center Cody Zeller (foot) will suit up for Wednesday's Game 3 matchup against the Denver Nuggets. As expected, Zeller will play despite dealing with a sprained right foot. It doesn't sound like the issue is going to limit him, but he doesn't play a big role in the rotation anyway. Zeller is expected to play around 8-10 minutes off the bench, which probably won't be enough to have DFS value.

Sun May 21 202316:55Cody Zeller Will Suit Up Against Boston
Miami Heat center Cody Zeller (nose) is available for Sunday's postseason outing versus the Celtics. The 30-year-old has averaged just 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 points in 9.3 minutes per game during the playoffs. He'll likely see a similar workload for Game 3, meaning DFS managers should stay away from him.

Wed May 17 202319:22Cody Zeller Available For Wednesday
Miami Heat center Cody Zeller (illness) is available for Wednesday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. The big man was questionable coming into this contest due to an illness. However, it appears Zeller is feeling good enough to suit up here. However, it's unlikely that he's going to play a significant role in the rotation with Bam Adebayo healthy. The expectation is that Adebayo is going to play a majority of the center minutes. Zeller should see some playing time off the bench, but it probably won't be enough to warrant using him in DFS contests.

Tue May 16 202318:32Cody Zeller Listed As Questionable For Wednesday
Miami Heat center Cody Zeller (illness) has been listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. Zeller has been the main big man off the bench backing up Kevin Love and Bam Adebayo., but appears to be dealing with a head cold. If Zeller is unable to play, Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin should get more run with the Heat running smaller lineups. Miami would have their hands full with the tandem of Robert Williams III and Al Horford if Zeller sits.

Fri Jan 7 202218:10Cody Zeller Returns To Action For Friday’s Game
Portland Trail Blazers center Cody Zeller (knee) has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and will be active for Friday's contest against the Cavaliers. Zeller last appeared Dec. 6, battling both a knee ailment and COVID-19 in the time since. The veteran has provided solid, if unspectacular, production among the second unit, scoring in double figures just twice across his first 24 games. With Jusuf Nurkic holding down the starting center spot for the time being, Zeller can remain on the waiver wire in nearly all season-long formats, although his return aides the Portland frontcourt with Larry Nance Jr. (knee) still sidelined.

Sun Dec 19 202118:29Cody Zeller At Least A Week Away From Returning
Portland Trail Blazers center Cody Zeller (knee) is sitting out his sixth consecutive game on Sunday against Memphis and will miss at least one more week of action. He's recovering from a patellar fracture and will be re-evaluated next week. Zeller's absence has left starting center Jusuf Nurkic without a backup and power forward Larry Nance Jr. has been playing at the five. Zeller has done a good job as a backup this season, getting 5.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in 13.3 minutes.

Tue Dec 7 202120:54Cody Zeller Might Miss Wednesday's Game
Portland Trail Blazers center Cody Zeller (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The injuries continue to pile up for Zeller, which is certainly frustrating to fantasy managers. His absence would likely mean more minutes for Larry Nance Jr. as the backup to starting center Jusuf Nurkic. Nance might have some low-end DFS appeal, assuming he gets increased playing time.

Wed Oct 6 202118:15Cody Zeller Sustains Broken Nose, Out Indefinitely
Portland Trail Blazers center Cody Zeller's (nose) tenure with his new team got off to an inauspicious start, as he sustained a broken nose during a preseason loss to the Warriors. Brought aboard to backup Jusuf Nurkic at the five, Zeller will now undergo surgery Friday to repair the issue, putting him on the shelf for the time being. Zeller has previously broken his nose before, although that gives little insight into how quickly he could return in this instance. The Blazers figure to deploy Larry Nance Jr. or Patrick Patterson as Nurkic's backup in the interim. Zeller was set to be on the fence of being drafted even in deeper season-long formats, but he can firmly land on the waiver wire for now while his outlook is in question.

Wed May 19 202114:47Borrego hopes tough finish drives Hornets to take next step
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — While the Charlotte Hornets found a player to build around in point guard LaMelo Ball and made significant strides this season, coach James Borrego knows there’s plenty of work to do before his young team is ready to compete with the NBA’s elite. And he’s hoping a disappointing finish to the season will provide the impetus to get there. Charlotte was fourth in the Eastern Conference last month before injuries sent the team into a tailspin. The Hornets were 8-17 after Gordon Hayward went down with a season-ending foot injury and lost their final six games, including an embarrassing 144-117 loss to the Indiana Pacers in the play-in tournament. Borrego said the late season struggles serve as a “necessary step” for the Hornets. “Every great team, every great player has been hit in the mouth to close the season — every one of them,” Borrego said. “I have yet to see a player or organization from day one where they come out and are just rolling. It just doesn't happen. This... [More]
Thu Jan 21 202114:29Hornets starting C Cody Zeller ready to return to action
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Hornets starting center Cody Zeller is expected to return to action Friday night against the Chicago Bulls after missing four weeks with a broken bone in his left hand. Zeller went through a scrimmage on Wednesday and coach James Borrego on Thursday listed him as probable for the game. The 7-foot center will not be on a minutes restriction. Zeller said Thursday that he had no problems in the scrimmage and is ready to play. Given the injury is to his left non-shooting hand, he said he's not worried about his shot but added his concerns are “mostly catching a pass and rebounding. But it has felt good so far and I’m excited to get back out there.” Zeller was injured in Charlotte's season opener on Dec. 23 and has not played since. The Hornets are 6-7 without Zeller in the lineup, and have been repeatedly been outrebound by the opposition. It's unclear if Zeller will replace Bismack Biyombo in the starting lineup or come off the bench. Charlotte (6-8) has lost its last three games. ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
Wed Dec 23 202022:41LaMelo scoreless in debut, Cavs outlast Hornets in opener
CLEVELAND (AP) — LaMelo Ball summed up his NBA debut in one word. “Disappointing,” he said. And forgettable. The hyped Hornets rookie guard didn't score in his first game for Charlotte and Cleveland pulled away in the first half and held on for a 121-114 victory Wednesday night in the Cavaliers' first home regular-season game in nearly 300 days. Collin Sexton scored 27 points, Darius Garland added 22 and the Cavs overcame a scorching shooting performance by Charlotte's Terry Rozier, a Cleveland native who finished with a career-high 10 3-pointers and 42 points. Beyond Ball's rough night — he missed all five shots and didn't play in the fourth quarte — Charlotte also suffered a major injury as center Cody Zeller broke his left hand. “Cody is obviously going to miss some time and we need other guys to step up,” Hornets coach James Boorego said. One of those would be Ball, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft who has revived interest and hope in Charlotte. But Ball's first performance... [More]
Wed Dec 23 202021:51Sexton leads Cavs to opening win, LaMelo scoreless in debut
CLEVELAND (AP) — Collin Sexton scored 27 points, Darius Garland added 22 and the Cleveland Cavaliers won their first home game in nearly 300 days, overcoming the hot shooting of Terry Rozier for a 121-114 win Wednesday night over the Charlotte Hornets. Hyped rookie LaMelo Ball didn't score in his NBA debut with Charlotte, and Hornets center Cody Zeller broke his left hand. Rozier made a career-high 10 3-pointers and scored 42 points to lead the Hornets, who made it interesting with a late rally. Upset by their exclusion from the NBA's “bubble” in Orlando, the Cavs made the most of getting back on their home floor for the first time in the regular season since March 8. Andre Drummond added 14 points and 14 rebounds and Larry Nance had 13 and 13 for Cleveland, which played without star forward Kevin Love. He's out with a strained right calf. Gordon Hayward scored 28 points in his first game with the Hornets, who signed him to a 4-year, $120 million deal after he opted out in Boston. Rozier... [More]
Thu Jun 11 202019:01Jordan talks to Hornets about being uncomfortable, winning
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Michael Jordan helped build the Chicago Bulls into a winner as a player.He’s desperate to do the same thing in Charlotte as the owner of the Hornets. Charlotte players say Jordan spoke to them recently via video conference call about what it takes to be a champion, emphasizing the need for accountability — even if it means making teammates comfortable.Those are some of the same qualities that were on display during the 10-part documentary the “Last Dance,” which focused on Jordan’s sixth and final NBA championship run with the Bulls.In the hour-long conference call that came after the conclusion of the “Last Dance,” Charlotte point guard Devonte Graham said Jordan told players they can’t be uncomfortable “calling out teammates” in practice when things aren’t going as planned or mistakes become repetitive.“That’s going to make you guys even better,” Graham said reiterating Jordan's remarks. “You’ll bond better. Your team is stronger. There is more of a respect level,... [More]

Fri Nov 8 201902:11Kemba Walker: MJ will always be "special guy in my life"
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kemba Walker says he holds no ill feelings toward Michael Jordan, even though the Hornets owner and six-time NBA champion decided not to keep him in Charlotte by paying him a $221 million supermax contract.In fact, Walker only has love for Jordan."MJ is always going to be a special guy in my life," Walker said Thursday night after his return to Charlotte as a member of the Boston Celtics. "He's one of the reasons I am where I am today."Jordan drafted Walker with the ninth pick in the 2011 NBA draft, and Walker took it from there. He beat out DJ Augustin for the starting point guard spot and flourished into a three-time All-Star despite being undersized — he's listed at 6-foot — for his position.Along the way, he became tight with Jordan, and the two still talk regularly. Although Walker said they didn't have a chance to catch up Thursday, he said he feels like he can talk with Jordan anytime."He gave me the opportunity to flourish as a basketball player," Walker said....
