The Golden State Warriors don't have the perfect defender for Kevin Durant -- not many teams do. But Draymond Green is best option as they look to slow down one the game's all-time greats.
Ball was on a scoring tear of late, though the Hornets have still been losing games.
Knicks first-round pick Pacome Dadiet was assigned to Westchester on Saturday in what is likely a temporary move.
After battling injuries for a couple of seasons, Ball has been healthy and impressive to start this campaign.
