If the Charlotte Hornets are to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016, LaMelo Ball will be front and center.
Heading into his team's road game Monday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Charlotte coach James Borrego hopes Isaiah Thomas can help Ball get back on track.
Friday ina 142-120 win at New Orleans, Borrego paired Ball with Thomas for the first time, and Ball was at his best, with 17 points and nine assists as the Hornets shot 59.8 percent from the floor, their highest field-goal percentage in a game since 2008.
