One reason why things are not going well for the Hornets at the moment is the absence of Gordon Hayward. The forward must continue to pass. As a result of the aforementioned long period of weakness, Charlotte has now slipped down to tenth place in the East standings.

If the home side doesn’t improve soon, the chance to participate in the postseason will soon be gone. LaMelo Ball also has something to make up for in the upcoming game: The reigning Rookie of the Year only played around eight minutes in the last game against Cleveland, as he picked up a high number of fouls very early on.

The Texans are only in twelfth place in the West and thus have to fear even more than the Hornets for their participation in the playoffs. Only a participation in the play-in tournament can realistically still be aimed for.

For that to happen, however, San Antonio would have to climb two places. Recently, however, the team lost three games again, whereby the opponents Memphis and Miami were admittedly mostly strong. Head Coach Gregg Popovich, in contrast to his opponents, can draw on a full complement of players.

Charlotte Hornets – San Antonio Spurs tip

For the clash between the Charlotte Hornets and San Antonio Spurs, the tip aims for more than 19.5 points by LaMelo Ball on the side of the home side. The point guard has only played a short stint recently due to foul problems and will therefore be comparatively rested.

In addition, he is out to make amends for his foul fest in the last game, which is why a particularly committed performance can be expected from him. Ball knows, of course, that his very undisciplined play has weakened his team recently, although the Hornets still won against the Cavs.
