The Brooklyn Nets will host the Charlotte Hornets at the Barclays Center in a matchup between two teams that are neck and neck in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Charlotte Hornets have gone under the radar with their impressive performances this season thanks to the exploits of LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges. They sit ninth in the Eastern Conference with a 38-36 record and are just four games behind sixth-seeded Toronto Raptors. This could prove to be an interesting matchup as there will be plenty of talented players on display as both teams battle to secure a smooth postseason run.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets, after early-season success, have fallen from the summit of the Eastern Conference standings with a lot of uncertainty surrounding the franchise as Kevin Durant has only recently returned from a knee injury and Kyrie Irving is only now being cleared to be available for home games while Ben Simmons is yet to make his debut for the Nets. However, things seem to fall in place just in time for the postseason.

Charlotte Hornets Preview
The Charlotte Hornets are coming into this game in great form as they have won seven of their last ten games while trying to establish a strong foothold in the Eastern Conference standings. The onus has been on players like LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges and Terry Rozier to lead the team into the postseason and make an impression.
If the Hornets can get their defense in order, then there's no reason why they can't make the postseason this year and make some serious noise in the East by taking a contender to seven games in a series.
Charlotte Hornets Predicted Lineup
G - LaMelo Ball; G - Terry Rozier; F - Miles Bridges; F - P.J. Washington; C - Mason Plumlee
Brooklyn Nets Preview
The Brooklyn Nets have faced enormous criticism this season due to Kyrie Irving's stance against the COVID-19 vaccine. That isn't healthy for a team with championship aspirations, as Irving could not play the Nets' home games. However, that saga seems to be behind them as Irving is cleared to play home games from now on.
Their performances also took a dive a couple months ago due to Durant's injury-induced absence. From being at the summit of the Eastern Conference standings, the Nets are now the eighth seed in the east with a 39-35 record. Their roster has been plagued with injuries and COVID-19 to key players throughout the season.
Brooklyn Nets Predicted Lineup
G - Kyrie Irving| G - Seth Curry | F - Bruce Brown | F - Kevin Durant | C - Andre Drummond.
