This inter-conference NBA fixture sees Charlotte head west to face Houston on Friday at Toyota Center. The Hornets are 11th in the East at 23–28 on the season, while the Rockets are fourth in the West at 31–18. Check out our prediction for the game below.
The Houston Rockets suffered a shock home defeat to the Boston Celtics in a high-pitched inter-conference clash on Thursday, losing 114–93 to the Celtics. That loss marked their second defeat in three home games, as well as bringing their three-game winning streak to an end.
Despite Thursday's setback, Ime Udoka's side will be brimming with confidence heading into this clash. They have won four of their last five NBA encounters against Charlotte.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets are likely to prove a tough nut to crack. The North Carolina franchise is on its best stretch of the season. They defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 102–95 in their most recent outing to extend their winning streak to seven games – their longest of the season.
Notably, this impressive recent run includes victories in their last four road fixtures. They have also been competitive in their recent trips to Houston, winning two of the last three away visits to the Rockets.
