LaMelo Ball Set to Return Saturday vs. Pistons
It looks like LaMelo Ball will make his return to the Charlotte Hornets lineup after missing almost a month and a half with a wrist injury.

The FanDuel Sportsbook’s odds-on favorite at -400 to win Rookie of the Year honors has not played since March 20 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Ball has been working on getting his conditioning back after suffering a fractured right wrist. Head coach James Borrego has already mentioned they will hold LaMelo to four to five-minute shifts if you will.
He might not be a great play at FanDuel just yet, as his total court time on Saturday will probably end up being around the 20-minute mark. If you want to bank on Ball being able to do damage in a hurry against a deplorable Detroit squad, he can be yours for $5900.
Charlotte will be happy to have their impact guard back, especially as they fight for playoff positioning and have missed Gordon Hayward for the past month.
The Hornets are -7.5 point home favorites with a -335 moneyline at the FanDuel Sportsbook.
