Game Notes
The Wizards are coming off back-to-back double-digit losses against the Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder, the two finalists of this year’s NBA Cup. But before that, Washington was able to scratch out a win over the very same Charlotte team they’re set to face on Thursday.
The Hornets are one of the few teams in arguably worse form than the Wizards at present. The visitors have lost five in a row and are 1-13 over their last 14 games.
Charlotte may again be without Brandon Miller, who is still dealing with an ankle injury. Washington, however, may also be short-handed as Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, and Bub Carrington are all listed as questionable for the contest.
Sarr had one of the best games of his young career during the teams’ previous matchup. He tallied 19 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in the 123-114 affair.
The Washington Wizards are gearing up to take on the Charlotte Hornets for the second time this season, and they’ll be looking to secure their second win over their Eastern Conference rivals. In their previous matchup, the Wizards came out on top with a dominant performance, and they’ll be aiming to replicate that success in their upcoming game.
With key players like Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook leading the charge, the Wizards have shown flashes of brilliance on both ends of the court. Their high-powered offense and improved defense have been key factors in their recent success, and they’ll be looking to continue building momentum against the Hornets.
On the other hand, the Hornets will be looking to bounce back from their previous loss to the Wizards and prove that they can compete with the best teams in the East. With young stars like LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier leading the way, the Hornets have shown that they have the talent and potential to make some noise in the conference.
It’s sure to be an exciting matchup between these two teams, and fans can expect a high-energy game with plenty of highlight-reel plays. Will the Wizards come out on top once again, or will the Hornets exact their revenge? Be sure to tune in to find out!
