• Hornets' Kelly Oubre: Leads bench in scoring

  04/08/2022 •

  Oubre notched 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Thursday's 128-101 victory over the Magic. Oubre cooked an underwhelming second unit for the tanking Magic, finishing with a plus-41 in the box score. At one point, he was a (distant) second to Tyler Herro in a race for the Sixth Man of the Year Award, but Oubre's production has fallen off considerably down the stretch. He's averaged 10.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 17 games since the beginning of March. Oubre will look to carry Thursday's momentum into Friday's contest against the Bulls.

• Hornets' Kelly Oubre: Poor production continues in loss

  Oubre had two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 119-110 victory over the Nets. Oubre bottomed out in the win, amassing a mere two points as his role continues to dwindle. He has now scored few than seven points in five of his past six games, logging more than 20 minutes just once in that span. It certainly has been a rapid decline for Oubre and at this point, he can be safely dropped in all competitive formats.

• Hornets' Kelly Oubre: Strong showing off bench

  03/20/2022 •

  Oubre closed with 17 points (6-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 129-108 win over Dallas. He led the Hornets' second unit in scoring during the rout, and he was one of five Charlotte players to score at least 17 points with at least three made three-pointers. Oubre has seen his workload decrease in recent games, in part due to his defensive limitations, but over his last 12 contests he's still averaging 14.1 points, 3.8 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.2 assists.

• Hornets' Kelly Oubre: Quiet in lessened role

  03/10/2022 •

  Oubre produced nine points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 115-101 loss to the Celtics. Oubre picked up three fouls across his limited playing time, but he was still abnormally quiet. Wednesday marked the fourth consecutive contest in which his playing time has decreased. Oubre logged a team-worst minus-24 and was hapless in his defense on Jayson Tatum (44 points, 16-24 FG). Oubre will look to rebound Friday in a high-octane battle against the Pelicans.

During that span dating back to Feb. 12, the Kansas product has drained a total of 20 threes and is averaging 16.7 points per matchup.
