The Hornets are coming off a strong final three quarters against the Wizards. The Nets are coming off a loss to the Trail Blazers. Since the Hornets are technically only one game back of the Nets, a win tonight will give them the sixth seed in the playoff race.
The Nets have cooled significantly after a scorching stretch of play vaulted them into the playoff picture. They’ve lost six of their last eight games and their offense has slowed down. Over that eight game stretch, the Nets rank 26th in offensive rating and 18th in defensive rating.
