Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Double-doubles in loss
Diabate registered 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 loss to the 76ers.
Diabate collected his 19th double-double of the season, and he's pulled away from rookie big man Ryan Kalkbrenner for the top center spot since late December. Diabate has averaged 8.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 27.3 minutes per game in his last five outings, shooting 68.0 percent from the field.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Dominates favorable matchup
Diabate closed Tuesday's 134-90 victory over the Kings with 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes.
Diabate took advantage of yet another favorable matchup, recording his second straight double-double. In what has been a breakout season thus far, Diabate's role appears to be secure, having started every game since late December. In 35 appearances since then, he has averaged 8.4 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, good enough for top-100 value in standard leagues.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Posts double-double in easy win
Diabate had 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 win over the Grizzlies.
Diabate has started in every one of his 13 appearances since the All-Star break, and while the big man often plays a secondary role on offense, he was able to leave his mark this time around. That said, Diabate has scored in double digits just three times in that span, so it's hard to trust him for sustained production even if he has a steady role in the first unit. Diabate has excellent upside in category-based leagues, but in standard point-based formats, he's better suited to be a streaming, matchup-based alternative.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Cleared to play Thursday
Diabate (hand) isn't listed on the Hornets' injury report for Thursday's game against Orlando.
Diabate appeared to sustain a left hand injury late in Tuesday's win over Miami, but the issue won't prevent him from facing the Magic. He's averaging 7.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks across 29.2 minutes over his last 11 appearances.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Leaves early with hand injury
Diabate exited Tuesday's 136-106 win over the Heat with 4:19 remaining in the fourth quarter after suffering an apparent left hand injury, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. He finished with eight points (4-6 FG), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 31 minutes.
Diabate bounced back following a four-point, five-rebound performance during Saturday's loss to San Antonio, though he seemingly picked up a hand injury late in the contest. The Hornets were up by 28 points at the time of Diabate's departure, so while it's possible that he was lifted early as a precaution, his status will still be worth monitoring ahead of Thursday's game against the Magic. If Diabate is forced to miss time, Ryan Kalkbrenner would likely move into the starting five.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Goes to locker room
Diabate exited to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Heat with an apparent left hand injury, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
Perley notes that Diabate looked to be grabbing his left hand as he walked into the locker room, though it's not clear when he suffered the injury. Given the score of the game and the fact that he went to the locker room with only a few minutes remaining, it would seem unlikely that he returns to this one.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Kept in check Saturday
Diabate logged four points (2-7 FG), five rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 loss to San Antonio.
Diabate was barely noticeable Saturday, picking up two early fouls that limited him to just 21 minutes. This was simply a case of being matched up against a superior opponent, with Victor Wembanyama having his way on both ends of the floor. Despite this performance, fantasy managers should feel relatively comfortable holding him, assuming you can deal with the light schedule.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Serviceable two-way effort
Diabate produced seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over Portland.
Diabate continues to deliver important contributions on both ends of the floor. While his scoring remains modest, to say the least, his ability to rebound at a high rate while adding consistent defensive numbers makes him a clear must-roster player. In seven appearances over the past two weeks, he has put up top-75 value in standard leagues, averaging 8.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.0 combined steals and blocks.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Struggles mightily in loss
Diabate notched two points (1-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Suns.
Diabate swatted four balls, but that was the highlight of his stat line. Ryan Kalkbrenner recorded 19 minutes and had a much better line than Diabate. It will be interesting to see which center the Hornets prefer more as they make a playoff push. The tight battle for playing time limits the fantasy viability of both players.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Nearly double-doubles
Diabate finished with nine points (2-4 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 victory over the Celtics.
Diabate continues to shine as Charlotte's starting center. Meanwhile, rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner has had to settle for a role with minutes in the teens off the bench. With Charlotte eyeing a playoff spot, Diabate's role appears to be locked in.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Second straight double-double
Diabate supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 109-93 victory over Portland.
The fourth-year center recorded his second straight double-double and his 16th of the season. Diabate was suspended for four games in February, and his production when he was on the court was very matchup-dependent -- over seven appearances on the month, he averaged just 8.0 points, 10.1 boards and 3.1 assists in 28.9 minutes.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Enjoys strong all-around night
Diabate had 14 points (7-8 FG), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 win over the Pacers.
Diabate powered his way to his second double-double in six February appearances. He led the Hornets in rebounds and also contributed defensively by accounting for two of Charlotte's 10 steals. Diabate continues to offer solid production across the board as the squad's starting center.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Makes return from suspension
Diabate finished Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls with nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals in 31 minutes.
Diabate played his first game since Feb. 9 after serving a four-game suspension for an altercation with the Pistons, and he didn't miss a beat. After playing 31 minutes in a massive win, it's safe to assume Diabate maintains a grip on the starting center role in Charlotte.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Suspended four games
Diabate was suspended four games for his altercation during Monday's game against Detroit, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Miles Bridges was also suspended for four games, with both players eligible to return Feb. 24 against the Bulls. In Diabate's absence, Ryan Kalkbrenner will likely be asked to step into the starting role, and he'll offer a lot of upside in fantasy for the short term.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Booted from Monday's contest
Diabate was ejected during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Pistons, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. He'll exit with no points (0-1 FG) and six rebounds over 19 minutes.
Diabate was involved in a heated altercation at the 7:09 mark of the third quarter that also included teammate Miles Bridges and opponents Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart, with all four players ejected. It remains to be seen whether additional discipline will follow, but for the remainder of Monday's game, Ryan Kalkbrenner will take on increased responsibilities at center.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Another double-double in win
Diabate accumulated 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Hawks.
Diabate recorded his third double-double in the past six games, helping Charlotte to its ninth straight victory. While his defensive contributions have subsided in recent times, Diabate's play over the past two weeks has played a key role in the team's success. In seven appearances during that time, he has averaged 10.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Firm grip on starting role
Diabate accumulated seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block over 29 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 win over the Rockets.
Diabate started the season in a timeshare for the center position with rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner, but the former has now started in each of his last 20 appearances. The fourth-year big man from Michigan is averaging 9.8 points and 11.0 rebounds per game over his last five contests.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Double-doubles in win
Diabate logged 12 points (6-9 FG), 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during the Hornets' 111-106 win over the Spurs on Saturday.
Diabate led the Hornets in rebounds Saturday en route to his 13th double-double of the season (and third over his last five outings). He has scored in double digits in six consecutive games, and over that span he has connected on 75.6 percent of his field-goal attempts while averaging 12.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over 27.8 minutes per game.

Diabate provided 18 points (8-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 112-97 win over the Grizzlies.
Diabate stuffed the stat sheet and finished as Charlotte's third-leading scorer, posting double-digit points for a fourth straight game. The big man also impressed on the glass, grabbing a game- and career-high 19 boards en route to his 12th double-double on the campaign. He has racked up two double-doubles in his last three appearances and four this month.
