After demolishing the Pistons on Wednesday, the Spurs will have the chance to show they are better than another bottom-dweller when they face the Hornets in San Antonio on Friday.
Unlike the Spurs, who have been getting steady attention because of Victor Wembanyama, there’s not much to entice casual fans to watch the Hornets. LaMelo Ball might return on Friday but he’s been out for a while, rookie Brandon Miller has just been fine, and the team's veterans are not the most exciting. Terry Rozier leads them in scoring with the disgraced Miles Bridges trailing him among the available players.
