Charlotte Hornets (17-28) and Washington Wizards (10-33) will meet in NBA action on Saturday night at Spectrum Center. The Hornets will want to build some winning consistency after blowing away the Magic 97-124 on Thursday night. This was their fifth win in the last 10 matches as they look to improve on their 12th position in the Eastern Conference standings. The Hornets will take a 2-day break before hosting the 76ers on Monday night.
Washington Wizards, on the other side of the court, have been out of their depth this season. They are 12th in the Eastern Conference standings, 22.5 games behind the Pistons at the top. The Hornets will be frustrated after failing to win any of their last eight matches. They fought hard against Denver Nuggets on Thursday night before losing 97-107. Their transition defense has been underwhelming this year. A win against the Hornets could boost the squad's confidence.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Hornets will enter this contest as favorites, thanks to their superior form and home support. They have looked decent lately, picking up decent wins against top teams like the Lakers and the Nuggets. The Hornets will target Washington’s weak defense, which has conceded an average of 123.6 points this season. That record is only good for 29th in the league standings. The Wizards have also been underwhelming against the spread lately, winning just once in their last five away games. Overall, we expect the Hornets to dominate this game and secure their third straight win over the Wizards.
