The home Hornets come into this one off a 117-106 home win over the Detroit Pistons. They entered that one as 7-point favorites and covered for the fifth time in as many outings.
Without any further ado, let’s get to this Phoenix Suns vs. Charlotte Hornets matchup.

- Tuesday, January 24 @ Phoenix: Suns 128 – Hornets 97
Wednesday’s contest marks the second and final meeting between these two squads.
Suns
Wednesday is the day Phoenix Suns fans have been waiting for since the February 8 trade for Kevin Durant.
Actually, scratch that. It’s the day fans in the desert have been waiting for since KD requested a trade last summer and it became clear Phoenix was his ideal landing spot.
He’s Finally Here
On Wednesday, Durant makes his Suns debut, and if you’re worried about his integration during his first game, don’t be. Durant is a star’s star who is familiar with Booker.
Quite frankly, he’s also the perfect pick-and-roll parter for Chris Paul, and he can take over ball-handling responsibilities in those scenarios, adding a new, near 7-foot element to an attack Phoenix has already made part of their identity.
Phoenix Suns vs. Charlotte Hornets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Landry Shamet, SG (OUT—foot)
Charlotte Hornets
Michael Jordan’s team hasn’t been able to catch a break this season, but at least now, at this point, we know for certain they’re tanking down the season’s home stretch.
On Monday, LaMelo Ball suffered yet another injury to his ankle. Unfortunately for the Hornets, this one will keep him out for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign, acting as the nail in the coffin for what’s been a disastrous season.
It Wasn’t Supposed to Be Like This
Despite being the second-worst team out East at this point in the year, Charlotte was never supposed to be here. This team made modest improvements last offseason to stay in Play-In Tournament contention, but injuries across the roster (including multiple injuries to Ball) derailed any short-term potential that was there.
Phoenix Suns vs. Charlotte Hornets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- LaMelo Ball, PG (OUT—ankle)
- P.J. Washington, PF (Day-to-Day)
- Cody Martin, SF (OUT—knee)

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
Above all, Charlotte has been great against the spread as of late. However, no two teams are headed in different direction more drastically than the Suns and the Hornets, and that’s going to show on Wednesday.
It Could Get Ugly
With Durant on board and a renewed energy officially taking over the Suns, they’re going to make easy work of the dilapidated Hornets.
All that in mind, don’t overthink this one. Take Phoenix on the road straight up and against the double-digit spread.
