The Hornets will look to finish off a four-game homestand on a winning note as they play host to the three-point-shooting-heavy Houston Rockets starting tonight at 7 p.m. ET in Charlotte.
Houston has won all but one of its last 15 meetings with the Hornets, a stretch that began way back on March 16, 2011. The Rockets are 6-5 since Jan. 27 and although own the NBA’s second-best offensive rating (114.2), their defensive rating is sixth-worst in the NBA (112.0), ahead of only Washington, New York, Atlanta, Phoenix and Cleveland.
This will likely be the fourth consecutive appearance for Jeremy Lamb as a reserve after Coach Borrego moved him out of the starting lineup for Miles Bridges in order to incorporate more offense into the second unit.
