The Charlotte Hornets will look to finish off their four-game homestand the way they began it as they welcome the New Orleans Pelicans to town for a rare Sunday afternoon 5 p.m. ET start.
After posting wins over the Bucks and Hawks earlier last week, Charlotte surrendered a season-high 18 threes in a 119-111 loss to the Jazz on Friday evening. Contrarily, a large amount of the Pelicans’ offense runs through big men Anthony Davis and Julius Randle, which leaves them 25th in the NBA in three-point field goals per game (9.8).
The hosts may need a few more long balls from All-Star guard Kemba Walker, who has struggled lately relative to his torrid start to the season.
