The Charlotte Hornets welcome the Houston Rockets next in the NBA. They enter this game as the ninth-best team in the Eastern Conference, whereas the Rockets are the fourth-best in the West. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Hornets have been the hottest team in the NBA for the last month or so, winning 10 of 11 games before the All-Star break. In this purple patch is a 109-99 win in Houston just two weeks ago.
This hot streak by Charlotte has put the team in with a chance at ending a 10-year wait to make the playoffs. Charles Lee’s men have won 26 matches and are three games below .500.
The Rockets saw a stuttering form right before the recess as they lost three of five games. They will hope that the break will have settled any nerves from a grueling first half of the season.
Ime Udoka’s men lost at home to the Clippers 105-102 in their most recent game. The loss snapped a two-game winning run that had come after back-to-back losses to the Hornets and Celtics.
Houston has compiled a 33-20 record and is 15-13 when away from home. Dorian Finney-Smith could be back available for this match.
