Tre Mann Out, Grant Williams Starts vs Magic

Head Coach Charles Lee has kept the faith in his current starting unit, despite its offensive struggles in the previous two games against Indiana and Philadelphia. Cody Martin (Illness) and Tre Mann (Back soreness) were both questionable coming into the game. While Martin was upgraded to available, Mann was downgraded to out, missing his first game of the season.

Tidjane Salaun's brief stint in the starting unit is over, with Grant Williams replacing the rookie.

Charlotte Hornets starting five:

PG: LaMelo Ball
SG: Brandon Miller
SF: Josh Green
PF: Grant Williams
C: Taj Gibson

Orlando Magic starting five:

PG: Jalen Suggs
SG: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
SF: Franz Wagner
PF: Tristan da Silva
C: Goga Bitadza
