What to Know
The Charlotte Hornets have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Phoenix Suns and are hoping to record their first win since Feb. 24 of 2021. They will face off against one another at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Spectrum Center. The Hornets are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.37 points per matchup.
Charlotte strolled past the Detroit Pistons with points to spare on Monday, taking the game 117-106. The top scorer for Charlotte was shooting guard Terry Rozier (22 points).
Meanwhile, Phoenix was close but no cigar on Sunday as they fell 104-101 to the Milwaukee Bucks. Shooting guard Devin Booker (24 points) and center Deandre Ayton (22 points) were the top scorers for Phoenix.
Charlotte have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the 10.5-point spread they are up against. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
The Hornets took a serious blow against the Suns in the teams’ previous meeting in January, falling 128-97. Maybe Charlotte will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
