19. Charlotte Hornets

Last Week’s Ranking: 21

The Hornets ended the week with a three-game winning streak. They got two wins over the Hawks and one over the Pelicans. They were able to get those wins despite Terry Rozier scoring just 16 points a game last week.

What is more important is LaMelo Ball found his groove. He averaged 14.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists and just 1.8 turnovers over the week. The Hornets had a net rating of 5.5 with Ball on the court in that span. 

Ball also picked up his first career triple-double against the Hawks with a 22-point, 12-rebound, 11-assist night. The first of what will be many in his career.
