For the season, LaMelo Ball averages 12.6 three-point attempts per night, nearly two more per game than his closest competitor Steph Curry. In January, a month in which the Hornets have won five of their eight games, the volume of Ball's three point attempts have declined, while his volume of free throws has climbed.

Ball has missed the Hornets' last five games due to a left ankle sprain, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to play in Friday's contest. Ball's return to the starting lineup will likle ylead to KJ Simpson coming off the bench.
