White finished Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to Orlando with four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 17 minutes.
White had easily his worst game as a Hornet, contributing to what ended up being a blowout loss. Despite averaging 15.3 points, 2.9 assists and 2.1 three-pointers in 23 games since joining Charlotte, it's safe to say that White's overall fantasy appeal took a large hit following the trade. Looking ahead to next season, White could struggle to be more than a stream-level asset, assuming his role remains largely unchanged.

Hornets' Coby White: Steps up in narrow victory
Rotowire
White provided 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Game victory over the Heat.
White closed the game Tuesday, playing over Kon Knueppel, who continues to struggle from the floor. While the production was certainly more than adequate, the highlight was a game-tying three-pointer that ultimately sent the game into overtime. Although he continues to come off the bench, White has proven himself to be a key contributor, providing the team with a viable scoring threat when others are having an off night.

Hornets' Coby White: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
White (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston.
It's unclear if White suffered a setback during Tuesday's morning shootaround, as he was initially deemed probable to play with left groin soreness. If the combo guard cannot suit up, Sion James and Josh Green should help pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Hornets' Coby White: Extends impressive streak
Rotowire
White contributed 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes during Thursday's 127-107 win over the Suns.
White continues to put up solid numbers off the bench for the Hornets, and this was his 10th consecutive game in which he scored in double digits. Over that 10-game stretch, White is averaging 18.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. White remains a valuable fantasy contributor in most formats due to his scoring prowess, and his involvement on offense is more important than how many minutes he plays.

Rotowire
White supplied 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 win over the Nets.
Despite some inconsistent shooting, White continues to provide Charlotte with valuable production off the bench. He has scored in double digits in nine straight games while also chipping in across other categories, most notably assists and threes. While he isn't a must-roster player, he certainly isn't out of place on a standard-league roster.

Hornets' Coby White: Leads Charlotte in points Thursday
Rotowire
White posted 27 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five assists and three rebounds over 23 minutes during the Hornets' 130-111 win over the Magic on Thursday.
White got extra run in the fourth quarter due to the Hornets' large lead, and the veteran guard took advantage of the extra playing time by scoring 12 of his team-high 27 points in the frame. He has scored 51 points over his last two games, connecting on 53.6 percent of his field-goal attempts while going 8-for-17 (47.1 percent) from three-point range in that span. White gives the Hornets a much-needed scoring punch off the bench, especially when LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel or Brandon Miller are off the floor.

Hornets' Coby White: Puts up 24 points off bench
Rotowire
White supplied 24 points (8-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 136-106 win over the Heat.
White seems to have settled into a steady bench role with the Hornets, as he's logged at least 20 minutes with the second unit in six of his last seven appearances since the trade and after overcoming a nagging calf problem. He's averaging 15.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game over that span, and while those aren't eye-popping numbers, they're certainly solid contributions considering he's averaging 20.6 minutes per game over that stretch.

Rotowire
White accumulated 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 loss to the Spurs.
White chipped in across the board, providing the Hornets with solid contributions on both ends of the floor. This was arguably his best performance since returning from injury, scoring at least 15 points for just the second time in his past five outings while matching a season high with three combined steals-plus-blocks. Despite the effort, White remains a stream-level player in most standard formats, particularly for those needing points and threes.

Hornets' Coby White: Limited role continues
Rotowire
White logged nine points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-109 win over Sacramento.
White was back in the rotation after missing the previous game as part of his injury management. It's been a tough slog for White since arriving in Charlotte, averaging 11.9 points, 3.6 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in seven games over the past month. At best, fantasy managers should view him as a potential streamer for both points and threes.

Hornets' Coby White: Good to go Wednesday
Rotowire

White missed the front end of the back-to-back set, but he's all set to return to the rotation. Through six appearances for Charlotte, he's averaging 12.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 18.3 minutes per contest.

Hornets' Coby White: Won't go Tuesday
Rotowire
White has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left calf injury management.
White has played in three straight games for the Hornets, but he'll take a seat for the first half of Charlotte's back-to-back. Tre Mann could be in line for more chances in the backcourt in White's absence. If all goes according to plan, White should be a full go for Wednesday in Sacramento.

Hornets' Coby White: Hits for 20 in Saturday's win
Rotowire
White supplied 20 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 109-93 win over the Trail Blazers.
The 26-year-old guard had his most productive game yet for Charlotte after scoring just 17 total points in his first two appearances for his new team. White averaged 19.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 boards and 3.0 threes over his final 12 contests for the Bulls, but that was with a starting role and 30.8 minutes a game. Without a larger role for the Hornets, it will be tough for him to come close to that level of production on a consistent basis.

Hornets' Coby White: Scores 10 points in debut
Rotowire
White (calf) posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls.
White made his long-awaited debut for the Hornets after completing his recovery from a left calf strain. He unseated Tre Mann in the rotation and served as the primary backup to LaMelo Ball, finishing with a well-rounded line during his time on the court. However, unless White begins to regularly eclipse 20 minutes, he'll be difficult to justify rostering outside of deeper fantasy leagues.
