Mann tallied 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists and four rebounds during Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Mann retreated to the bench Tuesday as LaMelo Ball (rest) returned to the starting lineup. Despite the demotion, Mann continued his strong preseason by leading the bench in scoring and was second on the Hornets in that category behind Brandon Miller (26). Mann is expected to come off the bench during the 2024-25 regular season, but he could have a big role on some nights should Ball and/or Miller be sidelined.

Mann tallied 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Ot, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

While Mann's streak of production is encouraging, LaMelo Ball's return will severely limit the Florida product's usage in the regular season. Mann's situation could be worse, as Ball has had difficulty staying healthy and needs solid bench support. Unless something happens to Ball or Brandon Miller, Mann will toil with the second unit.

Mann finished Tuesday's 111-108 win over the Heat with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal over 19 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Mann has led the Hornets' bench in scoring during both preseason contests. He started 28 games for the Hornets after being acquired at the trade deadline from the Thunder during the 2023-24 regular season, and over that span, he averaged 11.9 points, 5.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 31.1 minutes per game. Mann will be the first guard off the bench for Charlotte for the 2024-25 campaign behind starters LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.

Mann totaled 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists and three rebounds across 31 minutes during Friday's 131-98 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Mann extended his double-digit scoring streak to four games Friday, and he has reached that mark in five of his last six games. Mann and Nick Smith were the only two Charlotte players to score 10-plus points in Friday's loss. Since missing three games in March due to a groin injury, Mann is averaging 12.1 points, 5.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.2 three-pointers over 32.0 minutes per game over a stretch of 16 contests.

Mann ended Wednesday's 115-114 win over the Hawks with 16 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and seven steals over 37 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Mann has now topped 30 minutes of playing time in five consecutive games, and he logged a season-high seven steals during Wednesday's narrow win. Over his last five outings, he's averaged 12.6 points, 5.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 3.6 steals in 34.4 minutes per game. The Hornets are dealing with several late-season absences, so Mann should have a chance to maintain plenty of production over the team's final two regular-season games.

Mann chipped in 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-104 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Mann's production has been pretty sporadic, but his usage rate has remained steady as the Hornets continue to put the ball in his hands. Through five April games, Mann has averaged 10.2 points, 4.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals.

Mann ended with 18 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and four steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 121-118 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Mann was perfect from the field and left his mark on both ends of the court, racking up at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Mann has been a regular starter for the Hornets since the trade deadline, averaging 11.5 points, 4.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game over his last 24 contests.

Mann chipped in 11 points (4-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 89-86 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Since being traded to Charlotte on Feb. 8, Mann has started in every game he has played, averaging 11.4 points, 4.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 30.9 minutes, while shooting 44.2 percent. Prior to the trade, the 23-year-old appeared in only 13 games for the Thunder, averaging just 3.8 points in 9.2 minutes. With the litany of injuries to the backcourt, including LaMelo Ball (ankle), Seth Curry (ankle) and Cody Martin (ankle), expect Mann to continue receiving significant minutes.

Mann (illness) ended Tuesday's 112-92 loss to Orlando with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Mann was a late addition to Tuesday's injury report due to a non-COVID illness, but he was good to for the game. It was only the fourth time in his 15 games with the Hornets that Mann played less than 30 minutes, but that was due to Charlotte being down by as many as 41 points. Mann and the Hornets will look to break out of their three-game losing streak against the Hawks on March 23.

Mann (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Mann has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a non-COVID illness. Mann is averaging 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 steals in 33.4 minutes across his last five outings.
