A win tonight would help salvage a tough three-game homestand for the Charlotte Hornets as they kick off a back-to-back set against the Washington Wizards beginning at 7 p.m. ET at Spectrum Center.
The home team is 2-0 in the season series so far with the Hornets winning the most recent meeting, 123-110, back on Feb. 22. Charlotte weathered a season-high 46-point showing from two-time All-Star guard Bradley Beal and outscored the visiting Wizards, 96-72 over the final three quarters of play.
Kemba Walker finished this particular outing with team highs in both scoring (27 points) and assists (then season-high 11) to go along with another five rebounds.
