The Charlotte Hornets will look to close out a quick two-game homestand with a third-straight victory as they meet the Phoenix Suns once again this evening for an early 5 p.m. ET tipoff.
These teams squared off back in Phoenix on Jan. 6 with the Hornets coming away with a 119-113 road victory that was decided in the final seconds. Kemba Walker exploded down the stretch by scoring all but one of the team’s final 18 points, while the Suns finished the night shooting 51.8 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from three.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is coming off a season-high-tying 15 points and two steals against Sacramento on Thursday night, a game in which the Hornets were a team-best +26 in the 30 minutes when he was on the court.
