Game Preview
The Brooklyn Nets will try to get back to winning ways on Wednesday night when they play host to the struggling Charlotte Hornets. The Nets are 13-12 so far into the season while the Hornets are holding a 7-17 record. Brooklyn already beat the Hornets 98-94 back a few weeks ago in Charlotte as the favorites. Can they make it two in a row?
The Hornets seem like they are heading for the lottery, although it is still a bit early in the season. They have lost two games in a row and have fallen deep down in the standings. They are 13th in the competitive Eastern conference, 12.5 games behind the first-place Bolton. On Monday, the Hornets fell down to the Clippers 119-117 on a jumper by Kawhi Leonard in the final moments of the game.
Kelly Oubre had another good performance with 28 points of his own and 7 rebounds while PJ Washington contributed 26 points. Meanwhile, Terry Rozier scored 22 points and 8 assists while Nick Richards picked up 11 points with 10 boards. The Hornets have been set back by injuries as LaMelo Ball and Gordon Hayward remain out of the court, along with Cody Martin.
Now looking at the Brooklyn Nets, the drama seems to be behind them, at least for the moment. The coaching situation is set, at least for the season, with Jacques Vaughn leading the team, and Kyrie Irving seems to be focused on hoops. They are also getting much healthier with TJ Warren back and Seth Curry starting to warm up. Ben Simmons is still out and remains a mystery, but at this point, he seems like a side player.
They have been playing better as of late as a result, coming out on top in 7 of their last 10 games to get back to a positive record at 13-12. However, they are coming off a defeat against the first place Celtics, losing 103-92. Kevin Durant did the usual scoring 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, though he had 8 turnovers. Irving added 18 points and 8 rebounds, while Joe Harris scored 13 points for his team.
