The Hornets didn’t have a bad night shooting the ball, but were just terrible all around. For the Hornets to shoot over 50 percent from the floor, and still lose by double digits, is a bad showing. Maybe the trade rumors surrounding the team are affecting the Hornets play.
It was reported a few weeks ago, that Kemba Walker would be traded. The former All Star guard, has played his entire seven year career with the Hornets. Walker was there when the team was still named the Bobcats. The trade rumor sent a message to the team, and the Hornets have not responded well.

Don’t be surprised if the Hornets make some big moves before the deadline this year. With the Hornets current roster, the team can’t make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, which means something has to give roster wise. The Hornets are allowing 106.4 points per game this season.
Charlotte ranks 18th in points allowed. The Hornets must play better on the road. They are 8-16 on the road this season.
Portland Trailblazers
The Portland Trailblazers, are the same team they have been over the past several seasons. The same Trailblazers who are always a few games over .500, and scuffling to make the Western Conference playoffs. The Trailblazers are currently four games over .500 this year, and struggling to keep a bottom level playoff spot.
Damian Lillard is still doing what he does, averaging 25.1 points per game. CJ McCollum is also showing up big for Portland. McCollum is averaging 21.8 points per game. Yet again, it is still not enough to be a top contender in the West. Lillard and McCollum need one more star that is equal to their playing ability. Preferably a star big. DeAndre Jordan would be helpful.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Portland Trailblazers NBA Prediction:
The Hornets are dealing with a lot off the court. I’m sure players are nervous and ready for the deadline to be over. That said, Charlotte is going to need a big game from Kemba Walker in order to get the win.
Portland is in need of a win, if they are going to stay in playoff contention. Look for big games from Lillard and McCollum as usual. Jusef Nurkic is going to need to play well for Portland in this one.
