Charlotte Hornets
After winning two consecutive games on the road, Charlotte dropped back-to-back home games, first to Indiana and then to Toronto.

Now the Hornets are back on the road and this trip should be significantly more difficult than the previous one, with four games in six days on the West Coast.
It starts in Utah where Terry Rozier and Devonte’ Graham will meet Donovan Mitchell and the streaking Jazz.
The backcourt of Charlotte will have a speed advantage. Mitchell is Utah’s smallest guard and then either Bojan Bogdanovic or Royce O’Neale will have to mark whomever Mitchell doesn’t.
O’Neale is a terrific defender and Bogdanovic is better than average too but the latter is too slow to contain either Rozier or Graham off the dribble. If O’Neale can’t stay with whomever Mitchell doesn’t draw as an assignment, Charlotte’s backcourt could play dangerously.
But those three guys, plus Emmanuel Mudiay, could be plenty. Rudy Gobert is a nice safety net protecting the rim, too. The only way Charlotte makes this a game is if the backcourt plays a great game.
Utah Jazz
Offensively, Utah presents problems for Charlotte, which goes big in the front court with Miles Bridges, PJ Washington and Bismack Biyombo.
Biyombo will wrestle with Gobert but that leaves the thicker Bridges to defend Joe Ingles and Washington to mark either O’Neale or Bogdanovic, which one has a hard time imagining going well for the Hornets.
Utah rained sixteen threes on the Knicks in a 128–104 win. The Jazz has won twelve of its last thirteen, including seven in a row.
The leading scorer, Mitchell, who gets nearly twenty-five per game, only shoots thirty-six percent from three, which is well below the team’s average.
The Jazz leads the NBA from beyond the arc, at nearly forty percent, thanks to the remarkable consistency of Ingles and the addition of Bogdanovic. Then there’s O’Neale, who is shooting over forty-four percent on more than three attempts per game.
An undersized forward at 6’4”, O’Neale has done nothing but improve since arriving in the NBA undrafted out of Baylor three years ago. He’s only scoring six points per game but he’s doing so on better than sixty-one percent, effective field goal.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Utah Jazz NBA Prediction: the Jazz makes it easy.
Charlotte has been playing better of late but this is a monster test that the Hornets may just not be ready for.
The pressure on the backcourt to carry the Hornets to even one win on this road trip will be immense.
