The Hornets will look to pick up another home win on the tail end of a big back-to-back home set as they welcome the Nets to Charlotte for a 7 p.m. ET tipoff tonight.
Charlotte dropped a wild 134-132 double-overtime decision in Brooklyn back on Dec. 26 before responding two nights later with a decisive 100-87 home win over the Nets. Kemba Walker and Tony Parker totaled 48 total points in this latter game for a Hornets squad that allowed just two points off turnovers and held Brooklyn to a 4-of-27 shooting from three (14.8 percent).
Hornets Head Coach James Borrego did some lineup shuffling before last night’s win over Washington, moving Nic Batum to the starting two-guard spot, Miles Bridges to the starting three and Jeremy Lamb to the bench.
