The Charlotte Hornets are set to return to action this Sunday night after a brief hiatus caused by wildfires in the Los Angeles area. The team's last encounter was an 115-104 victory over the Phoenix Suns, where they managed to end a ten-game losing streak against their opponents. During that game, standout player LaMelo Ball delivered an impressive performance, scoring 32 points and hitting five three-pointers despite a challenging shooting night. The defensive efforts of the Hornets were commendable, limiting the Suns' offense except for Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, who together contributed 65 points.
For tonight’s rematch, the Hornets have a chance to secure consecutive wins for only the second time this season. Both teams have just announced their starting lineups. For the Hornets, the court will see LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Josh Green, Miles Bridges, and Mark Williams taking the lead. On the other side, the Suns will feature Tyus Jones, Devin Booker, Ryan Dunn, Kevin Durant, and Mason Plumlee as starters. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. EST, with live coverage available on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast.
The opportunity to sweep the season series presents a significant milestone for the Hornets. With renewed vigor and strategic focus, the team aims to build momentum and demonstrate resilience. A win tonight would not only boost morale but also highlight the team's potential for growth and success in the remainder of the season.
