  With White and Knueppel out, Charlotte put the ball in Naz Reid's hands and ran pick-and-roll through him. He had seven assists, including a one-handed pass to Moussa Diabate. Both hosts sell him finishing top two on the team in assists, citing Coby White, Dennis Schroder, Knueppel and maybe Brandon Miller.

  Host's reason for the DNP: real frontcourt depth that Steinbach must leapfrog, namely Moussa Diabate, Naz Reid, Royce O'Neale at forward, Ryan Kalkbrenner, and Tidjane Salaun.

  • Charlotte Hornets (reported): Moussa Diabate injured his knee. The Hornets list him as day-to-day, and he did not play against Memphis. at 5:07
  • Walker Mehl: Host's view: he is not worried about Diabate missing regular-season time. He reasons that the team's day-to-day label has meant minor issues before, citing Brandon Miller's quick return from a shin contusion and Christian Anderson's return from the same designation. at 5:20

  • The host says real size is still a problem. Boston's size around the rim, from Mitchell Robinson and Neemis Kata, was difficult for the Hornets and for Moussa Diabate. at 4:15
  • The host says Diabate has gotten stronger and thinks he has 'skilled up a little bit', but he still has the same issues. at 4:56
  • Against Milwaukee, Diabate had 5 offensive rebounds and 11 total. The host expects plenty of nights like that, because most opponents are not as big as Boston. at 6:17

  Host analysis: the double-big look worked partly because Charlotte played two bigs, 'I think' Musa Diabate and Nas Reed, which gave both Celtics bigs someone to guard.

  • Doug Branson: In the host's view, the team has lost LaMelo Ball's natural playmaking. He thinks it will need to generate offense early through offensive rebound putbacks and kickout threes, using bigs Diabate, Ryan Kalkbrenner and eventually Steinbach. at 14:26
