Charlotte Hornets
Following their 10-game losing streak the Hornets were playing their best ball of the season winning three in a row and four of six. Still, there is no illusions about where this team is headed as they set their sights on the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes.
As expected LaMelo Ball who led fans voting for the All-Star backcourt did NOT make the starting unit after players and the media had their say in electing to tap Jalen Brunson ahead of the youngster.
Hornets Stats
To this point in the season, the Blazers rank 28th offensively (108.2), and tied for 20th defensively (113.6), with a net differential of minus -5.4 ranking 24th overall.

Free NBA Prediction:
The Blazers are streaking following their win versus the Magic now with three wins in a row. Charlotte had won three in a row before the loss but they have the rest advantage and the benefit of Portland playing a back-to-back plus their fifth game in seven days.
Still, I like the way the Blazers have looked. In particular, holding the Magic to 79 points speaks to their defensive improvements, so I’ll take the points.
