The Phoenix Suns are at home against the in-form Charlotte Hornets in their next NBA assignment. They enter the game as the seventh seed in the Western Conference, while their visitors are the 10th seed in the East. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Suns are going through an inconsistent spell and come into this match having lost five times in their last 10 games. This up-and-down nature has left them unable to claw their way out of the play-in bracket.
Jordan Ott’s men, who have compiled a 36-27 record, find themselves two games off the automatic playoff places. Phoenix returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 118-116 home win over the Pelicans.
The Hornets saw a six-game winning streak come to an end last time out, and they will be eager to make an immediate response in Phoenix.
One of the NBA’s hottest teams for much of 2026, the Hornets were outscored 128-120 at home by the Heat. It was only the fourth loss for Charlotte in the last 20 games and saw them drop to a 32-32 record.
The Hornets arrive for the season’s first matchup with the Suns having gone unbeaten in 10 straight away fixtures.
