Going into Friday night’s road game against the Toronto Raptors (42-16), the Charlotte Hornets (20-38) should feel refreshed after their recent victory over the New York Knicks.
For Charlotte, this will be the second time that they take on the Raptors while on the road. In the first road matchup between the teams, the Hornets lost in blowout fashion to the Raptors. They now will face them for the third time this season.
However, the Hornets dramatically improved from the first time they played the Raptors in November. In the second matchup, the Hornets came close to winning, but they lost in overtime by two points.
