Frank Ntilikina - Late scratch SaturdayNtilikina is out for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz due to left hip discomfort.

ImpactNtilikina was not listed on the injury report ahead of game time, but Hornets PR confirmed he will be unavailable Saturday. Ntilikina made his season debut on Jan. 17 and has played just 22 minutes across three contests, so his absence won't impact the rotation.

Ish Smith - Enters first unitSmith will start Saturday's game against the Jazz.

ImpactSmith will take the place of LaMelo Ball (ankle) in the first five for his third start of the season. In his other two games with the starters, Smith averaged 7.0 points, 6.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds across 27.5 minutes.

Reggie Bullock - Cleared to face NetsBullock (back) will play against Brooklyn on Saturday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactBullock has been dealing with a lower back strain throughout most of January, but he'll be able to suit up for Saturday's tilt. With Jabari Smith (ankle) and Tari Eason (lower leg) sidelined, Bullock could be in line for more minutes.

LaMelo Ball - Won't go SaturdayBall (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

ImpactBall was initially tabbed questionable for Saturday's tilt with soreness in his right ankle, but he'll end up watching the contest in street clothes. In his stead, Ish Smith, Nick Smith and Frank Ntilikina are candidates to pick up minutes while Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges will be tasked with a larger offensive role. Ball's next chance to play will come Monday against the Knicks.
