The Charlotte Hornets (9-25) will face the Golden State Warriors (16-18) in the NBA on Tuesday (December 27).
The Hornets are second to bottom in the Eastern Conference and are coming off a 124-113 loss against the Portland Trail Blazers (124-113) in their last outing. The Hornets are almost up to full strength, which has given them some wins lately after a horrific start to the season.
They put up a good display against the Trailblazers even though they lost the game. LaMelo Ball led the scoring charts with a 27-point performance, while PJ Washington came up with 22 points. However, Jeremy Grant's 32 and Jusuf Nurkic's 28 points proved to be too strong for the visitors.
Meanwhile, the Warriors are coming off a 123-109 win against the Memphis Grizzlies in their last outing. Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson stepped up in the absence of Stephen Curry to score 32 and 24 points respectively. The defending champions have not started the season on a good note and are struggling to stay in playoff reckoning.
