Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards Preview

The Hornets have been down and out again

The Hornets enter the affair an agonizing 3-point loss against the Denver Nuggets despite a 24-point effort by Miles Bridges. They held the Nuggets to just 7/37 from the three-point line but were overwhelmed by Nikola Jokic’s triple-double masterpiece. The loss was their fourth straight defeat, a pattern that Hornets fans have become used to long ago. They have already suffered an eight-game and a ten-game losing streak, eliminating their chances to reach the Play-in tournament. The team will have to make a tough decision soon. Will they explore the market for LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges? Is building solely through the draft worth it anymore or should they go all in for a major star player? The Hornets are in a quandary again.

The Wizards’ misery over… for now

The Wizards come into this game after beating the Minnesota Timberwolves by two points as Kyle Kuzma exploded for 31 points. This win broke a painful 16-game losing streak and the team remains the worst squad in the league. However, this was an expected result considering their raw roster of disgruntled vets. Kyle Kuzma has indicated that he wants a more winning environment and there is a chance that he gets traded before the midseason trade deadline. Meanwhile, Jordan Poole has been the only stellar scorer for the team, however, they may not hesitate to trade him in exchange for first-round draft picks or a star player. The Wizards have yet to identify their franchise face and are soaking in these losing streaks to build for the the future.
