Ryan Kalkbrenner - Three rejections Sunday Kalkbrenner ended Sunday's 119-111 overtime victory over the Cavaliers with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 20 minutes.
Impact The second-round rookie recorded multiple rejections for the sixth time in the last eight games (seven starts), although his three boards were his lowest total during that stretch. Kalkbrenner's defensive contributions are keeping him in the starting five, but over those eight contests he's averaging just 8.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 25.6 minutes.

Miles Bridges - Big double-double against Cavs Bridges logged 20 points (7-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 119-111 overtime win over the Cavaliers.
Impact The double-double was the third of the season for Bridges, and his first since Nov. 7. The 27-year-old forward has scored at least 20 points in three straight games and 11 of the last 17, averaging 21.7 points, 5.9 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.2 combined steals and blocks over that latter stretch.

Impact The rookie wing led all scorers on the afternoon as he topped 20 points for the third time in the last four games.

Knueppel scores 29 points, Miller has 25 in Hornets' 119-111 OT win over Cavaliers
Rookie Kon Knueppel scored 29 points, Brandon Miller added 25 and the Charlotte Hornets shut out Cleveland in overtime on their way to a rare road win, 119-111 over the Cavaliers18 HOURS AGO • Associated Press
Brandon Miller - Notches 25 points in overtime win Miller produced 25 points (8-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes of Sunday's 119-111 overtime win versus the Cavaliers.
Impact It's worth mentioning that Miller went to the locker room followed by a trainer in the second half, but no specifics were reported. He returned moments later, and there didn't appear to be any noticeable issues. Miller nailed a three-pointer in the closing seconds of regulation to send this game to overtime, and he seems to be finding his stride for Charlotte.

KJ Simpson - Headed to bench Simpson is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cavs.
Impact Sion James will replace Simpson in the first unit for Sunday's game, but Simpson should still see significant minutes in the rotation with LaMelo Ball (ankle), Collin Sexton (quad) and Tre Mann (knee) all unavailable. Over the past three games, Simpson has recorded averages of 11.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 triples, 2.7 steals and 2.7 turnovers per game on 41/39/63 shooting splits.

Sion James - Draws start Sunday James is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact James will replace KJ Simpson in the first unit with LaMelo Ball (ankle) out once again. Although James is listed as the starting point guard, it's likely that Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller initiate most of the offense.

Tidjane Salaün - Cleared to face Cavs Salaun (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Salaun was upgraded from questionable to probable Sunday morning, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise.

Impact Sexton has been working through a left quad strain and will miss a fourth consecutive game as a result of his injury. His next chance to play is Thursday against the Hawks.

Tre Mann - Not playing Sunday Mann (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

LaMelo Ball - Ruled out for Sunday Ball (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Ball will miss his third straight game due to a left ankle bone bruise, and it's not a positive sign that he continues to be ruled out a day before tipoff. With the star point guard being joined by Collin Sexton (quadriceps) and Tre Mann (knee) on the sidelines, KJ Simpson, Sion James and Josh Green are candidates for an uptick in minutes. Ball's next chance to play comes Thursday against the Hawks.
