Xavier Tillman is a reserve forward for the Charlotte Hornets, operating as a depth big man in a limited rotation role. Born January 12, 1999, Tillman stands 6'8" and 245 pounds and played his college ball at Michigan State before reaching the NBA. Draft year information is not on record in the current roster data.
Through 33 games this season, Tillman is averaging 1.8 points and 1.8 rebounds across just 7.6 minutes per game, numbers that reflect a true end-of-bench profile. His field goal percentage of 25.9% and a three-point rate of 7.2% signal limited offensive creation, and his plus/minus of -0.6 places him roughly at neutral impact in his sparse minutes. His role on Charlotte is primarily as a backup big who fills out the roster on nights when other frontcourt players are unavailable or need rest. For bettors, Tillman presents a narrow but specific prop angle. His points and rebounds props, when posted, tend to sit at very low thresholds given his minimal usage, making them sensitive to whether he sees any garbage-time run. Rebound props are worth monitoring in games where Charlotte plays shorthanded frontcourt rotations, as even a modest uptick in minutes could push him over a low board. His scoring volume is too inconsistent at current usage levels to make points props reliable targets.
