Hornets' Terry Rozier: Solid numbers despite poor shooting

Rozier finished Wednesday's 118-104 loss to Washington with 19 points (7-20 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes.
Rozier struggled to find the bottom of the net Wednesday, particularly from deep, as he went just 2-for-10 from three-point range. However, the veteran guard made up for the poor shooting with solid production elsewhere, leading Charlotte with six assists and adding seven boards and two steals. This was Rozier's first game under 20 points since Jan. 24, and he's been putting up big numbers since the start of the calendar year, averaging 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 3.3 triples and 1.5 steals while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 82.4 percent from the charity stripe over his past 19 games.

Hornets' Terry Rozier: Good to go Thursday
Rotowire
Rozier (illness) will take the floor Thursday against the Bulls.
Rozier claimed a probable tag on the injury report despite an illness, so his taking the floor doesn't come as a major surprise. However, LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) and Gordon Hayward (hamstring) are also returning to action Thursday, so Rozier will have to share with more scoring options.

Hornets' Terry Rozier: Dazzles as starting point guard
Rotowire
Rozier closed Saturday's 122-118 win over Atlanta with 34 points (11-25 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists, four steals and three rebounds over 39 minutes.
Rozier came alive in the second half Saturday, scoring 28 of his 34 points as the Hornets rallied to secure the victory.

Hornets' Terry Rozier: Goes for 26 points Wednesday
Rotowire
Rozier totaled 26 points (11-24 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 122-117 victory over the Rockets.
Rozier's 24 shot attempts were his most since Jan. 6, with the veteran guard benefiting from added usage in no small part due to backcourt mate LaMelo Ball's early exit due to an ankle sprain. Considering Ball had absences of 13 and 11 games on two other occasions earlier this season due to the same injury, he'll most likely miss time again. As a result, Rozier could be in store for a short-term bump in his overall scoring and assist production.

Hornets' Terry Rozier: Erupts for season-high 39 points
Rotowire

While his numbers have been more than adequate this season, Rozier's efficiency has been a significant sticking point for managers. This is undoubtedly a step in the right direction and something that can hopefully propel him back into the top 50 moving forward.

Hornets' Terry Rozier: Late scoring binge falls short

Rozier accumulated 27 points (11-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 121-115 loss to the Lakers.

The Lakers managed to hold on, but it was nonetheless an impressive performance by Rozier, who finished with his highest point total since Dec. 7. The veteran guard also snapped a poor shooting stretch -- coming into Monday, he had shot just 28.3 percent from the field over his previous four contests.

Hornets' Terry Rozier: Woeful shooting in Monday's loss
Rotowire
Rozier accumulated seven points (2-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 124-113 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Rozier was ice cold in the loss, shooting a woeful 2-of-17 from the floor. This performance really sums up Rozier's season thus far, highlighting his struggles from the field. He currently sits outside the top 150 in standard formats, basically due to the fact he is shooting under 40 percent from the field. He clearly remains a must-roster player, but if his manager is battling to stay alive in the standings, throwing out a low-ball offer is certainly a viable strategy.

Hornets' Terry Rozier: Scores 23 points in return
Rotowire

Rozier returned to action with a superb shooting performance, draining five three-pointers in eight attempts beyond the arc. The standout guard played 38 minutes and showed no lingering effects from his previous hip injury, which sidelined him for two games. Although LaMelo Ball's return has provided a much-needed spark, Rozier is an integral part of Charlotte's offensive game plan and should be rostered in all fantasy formats.

Hornets' Terry Rozier: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Rozier (hip) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Rozier will miss a second straight contest with an ailing right hip bruise he suffered during Sunday's loss to Denver. Kelly Oubre, who started in place of Rozier on Monday, will presumably garner a second consecutive start. The Louisville product will likely be tabbed questionable heading into the team's next contest against the Lakers on Friday.
