Sunday, March 27th, 2022, the Charlotte Hornets and. Brooklyn Nets meet for the third and final time this season. The teams split the prior two meetings with Charlotte taking the initial match 111-95 on October 24th while Brooklyn won 131-121 on March 8th.
Charlotte last played Friday, beating the Jazz 107-101 while the Nets are playing a back-to-back set that began with a 110-95 beatdown of the Heat in Miami.
Last season, the squads played three times with Brooklyn winning two of the three contests. The Nets hold the all-time record having bested the Hornets in 62 of their 117 matches.
Charlotte Hornets
No game this season has been more important than this match for the Hornets. They arrive with the rest advantage likely getting to Brooklyn before the Nets returned from Miami.
While the Hornets have been fending off the Hawks to retain the ninth seed home court option the reality is this game is far more important. If Charlotte can win this match they’ll push the Nets to ninth because they’ll own the tiebreak.
Certainly, this one game won’t decide everything but it’s the one game they have to win if they want to have those options at season end should they need to use the tiebreak with the Nets.
Gordon Hayward (ankle) remains out having missed the last 19 games and 25 of 28 dealing with the ankle injury.
Brooklyn Nets
This game will mark the home court season debut of Kyrie Irving who’ll finally be able to play on Barclay’s court instead of watching from home or the sidelines.
Irving never did get vaccinated and while he claimed to be a voice for the voiceless there certainly wasn’t copious amounts of speaking engagements or continual (if any) messages coming from his camp in his role as this leader of the voiceless.
With New York Mayor, Eric Adams removing the restrictions for entertainers and athletes it means everyone who is unvaccinated can play. ‘
If another variant arises or there is an outbreak on the team that occurs perhaps the NBA will revisit this strategy but in fairness to Irving, visiting unvaccinated players have been able to play in Barclays all season so it seems only fair he can also suit up.
Brooklyn is playing on consecutive days but arrives well-rested, Kevin Durant and Irving played just 31 and 30 minutes in Miami as they surged to a big lead. KD scored 23 points while Irving added 11 in a match that featured balanced scoring from the Nets.
LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) and Ben Simmons (back/conditioning) are out indefinitely while Joe Harris (ankle) is lost for the season.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
These two clubs enter the day seeded eighth (Nets) and ninth (Hornets) and only one game separates them. As noted above, the winner of this game will own the season tiebreaker.
Given the rest advantage, this should be a close game, but with the Nets taking care of business early in Miami it’s more likely KD and Irving use the momentum from the crowd welcoming Irving on the floor and ride that to a victory.
