Charlotte Hornets (16-27) and Cleveland Cavaliers (24-20) will clash in the Eastern Conference on Wednesday night at Spectrum Center. The Hornets will shoot to make it two wins on the bounce after stunning the Nuggets 87-110 on the road on Sunday night. It was an eventful night for the Hornets, who took the first three quarters to recover from their 20-point demolition against the Warriors. They’ll be keen to go on a winning run and climb higher in the table.
Cleveland Cavaliers, on the other hand, have been inconsistent this season. They sit in the seventh spot, 8.5 games behind the Pistons. After securing back-to-back wins against the 76ers, the Cavaliers were humbled by the Thunder at home, losing 104-136. This was their fourth defeat in the last ten matches, which includes a disappointing home loss against the Jazz. Still, they’ve shown flashes of high-level performance this season.
