The Charlotte Hornets (22-21) are set to take on the Brooklyn Nets (9-33) in the third game of their current five-game homestand. After a five-game losing streak on the road, the Hornets have returned home and won each of their last two games in blowout fashion against the Portland Trail Blazers and the Toronto Raptors. This is the second night of a back to back for both sides but Charlotte was able to get more rest as they stayed home while Brooklyn had to travel.
In their last game, the Nets were able to trounce the New Orleans Pelicans as they put a whopping 143 points on the board.
