The Portland Trail Blazers have won three games in a row and five out of their last six. They are now the fourth seed in the Western Conference, and they only trail the third-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder by a half game.
Tonight, they will look to continue their hot streak against the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets currently own a record of 19-21. The Hornets are a stronger opponent then their record suggests. Despite being below .500, Charlotte has a positive point differential. This is due to their offense, which led by Kemba Walker ranks 9th in the NBA in points per game.
