Graham managed nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and one block in 29 minutes during Monday's 100-97 victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Graham shifted back into the starting lineup with LaMelo Ball (wrist) set to miss the remainder of the season. This is a role Graham is familiar with and despite the lack of production, he is likely to carve out meaningful minutes moving forward. If he is floating around on your waiver wire, he is absolutely worth adding to see if he can rediscover his form from last season.

Graham will start Monday's game against the Spurs, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graham is expected to take on an increased role in the coming weeks with LaMelo Ball (wrist) likely sidelined for the remainder of the season. Graham was a starter over the first half of the season, and he'll return to the starting lineup for Monday's game. He has averaged 11.2 points and 3.3 assists over 19.0 minutes per contest across his last six appearances off the bench.

Graham could be set for a return to the starting five with LaMelo Ball (wrist) expected to miss the rest of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Ball's injury is a devastating blow to the Hornets, but it may open the door for Graham to return to the starting five alongside Terry Rozier. Graham has worked with the second unit since returning from an injury absence on Mar. 11, and he's averaged just 19.9 minutes across six appearances. With Ball's role now vacated, Graham will be the leading candidate to start at point guard. Over his first 22 games of the season (all starts), Graham averaged 14.5 points, 6.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 threes and 1.1 steals in 34.6 minutes.

Graham posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and one steal in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 129-104 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Graham continues to see limited minutes in his return from a knee injury. He hasn't seen more than 22 minutes in each of the past four contests. Wednesday's effort was the worst of Graham's performances since his return. In the previous three games, he averaged 12.0 points, 4.7 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 19.0 minutes.

Graham played 22 minutes off the bench and added 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four assists and one rebound in the win over the Kings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a struggle for Graham, who played in his third game since returning from injury. While he's hit 10 triples, he hasn't really done much else in the box score. During that time, Graham is averaging 12.0 points, 4.7 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.3 steals while playing in just 19 minutes per game.

Graham recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four assists and two rebounds across 17 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Graham missed seven games between Feb. 20 and Mar. 3, and while he's managed to return, he's not reached the 20-minute mark in any of his last two appearances. The fact that he's moved back to the bench while playing limited minutes should conspire against his upside moving forward.

Graham (kneecap) recorded seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 105-102 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Making his return to action after missing the previous seven games with left knee patellar discomfort, Graham came off the bench and saw limited action as the Hornets eased him back into the mix. Graham is expected to remain under a restriction for at least a few more games, so he makes for a very risky start in weekly lineup leagues. Even when Graham is fully cleared of restrictions, his fantasy utility will likely be far less than it was earlier this season now that rookie LaMelo Ball has emerged as the team's clear top point guard.

Graham (kneecap) will come off the bench during Thursday's game against the Pistons, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not very surprising to see Graham return to the court after he was initially considered probable ahead of Thursday's matchup. However, the 26-year-old will come off the bench for the first time this season with LaMelo Ball starting for the Hornets. Graham will also carry a minutes restriction during his first few games back on the court.

Graham (kneecap) will have a minutes restriction during his first several games back on the court, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graham is probable for Thursday's matchup after missing seven games due to left knee patellofemoral discomfort. While he's likely to return to the court, coach James Borrego said that he'll have limited minutes following his lengthy absence. Borrego also noted that LaMelo Ball will remain in the starting five, so it's possible Graham could be looking at a bench role going forward, unless Borrego opts for a three-guard look.

Graham (kneecap) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Graham missed the seven games leading up to the All-Star break due to left knee patellofemoral discomfort, but he'll likely be able to suit up when the Hornets return to the court Thursday. It's not yet clear whether he'll face any restrictions following his lengthy absence.
