Josh Green - Offers little in starting role Green registered three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 23 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to Boston.
Impact Green was a non-factor in the loss, producing very little in terms of tangible numbers despite starting and playing 23 minutes. While he is a solid enough defensive presence, his efforts do not translate to meaningful value. He should continue to feature in the rotation but nights like this are going to come more often than not.

Seth Curry - Passive in starting role Curry supplied eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Curry landed a pair of triples, continuing to start for the Hornets who are dealing with a number of injuries. Although he is opening the game, he is serving as more of a backup, allowing Tre Mann to play typical starters' minutes off the bench. Outside of some limited three-point appeal, Curry's days of being a meaningful asset are well behind him.

Moussa Diabaté - Plays with energy Friday Diabate totaled seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Diabate played a season-high 16 minutes in the loss, providing the team with some much-needed energy following a lackluster first quarter. He was particularly aggressive on the offensive boards, hauling down an impressive six offensive rebounds. As long as the Hornets are banged up, Diabate is someone who should have a somewhat meaningful role, especially if the team continues to start slowly in games.

Impact With Mark Williams (back) out and Nick Richards (shoulder) leaving the contest early, Grant was thrust into an expanded role at center. He finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes before making a non-basketball play on a Jayson Tatum late in the fourth quarter. If Williams and Richards remain out, Grant could move into the starting lineup despite his antics Friday.

Nick Richards - Downgraded to out Richards (shoulder) won't return to Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Richards posted one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and two blocks in 16 minutes during the first half but was shut down for the second half. In his absence, Grant Williams should play the majority of center minutes, while Taj Gibson could also work his way into the rotation. Richards' next chance to suit up will come Saturday in a rematch against Boston.

Nick Richards - Questionable to return Friday Richards is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Celtics due to right shoulder soreness.
Impact Richards posted one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and two blocks in 16 minutes during the first half, but Grant Williams started the second half in Richards' absence. With Mark Williams (back) still out, Williams will likely play the bulk of his minutes at center, while Taj Gibson could also join the rotation.

Brandon Miller - Downgraded to out Miller (glue) is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Celtics.
