A third-straight win and a season-series title is on the line for the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night as they finish off a back-to-back set on the road against the Washington Wizards.
Coming off a second-straight NBA All-Star Game appearance, Kemba Walker has been humming along nicely for the Hornets, particularly over the last few weeks. The seventh-year veteran has posted 27.8 points, 4.4 three-point field goals on 48.8 percent shooting, 6.0 assists and 1.3 steals over his last nine appearances dating back to Jan. 31.
Walker will be paired up in the backcourt with Tomáš Satoranský, who has recently taken the reins as Washington's starting point guard following John Wall's knee surgery.
