Smart Game Analysis
Charlotte Hornets has a 68% chance of winning the game
The Hornets enter this matchup with significant momentum on a six-game winning streak, while the Pelicans struggle mightily on the road with a 5-19 record.
Key Analysis
- • New Orleans is without key playmaker Dejounte Murray due to an Achilles injury, severely limiting their offensive organization.
- • LaMelo Ball is orchestrating the Hornets' offense effectively, averaging 19.1 points and 7.6 assists per game.
- • The Pelicans rank fourth-worst in the league defensively, which pairs poorly against a Charlotte team that has found its rhythm.
- • Charlotte has won six consecutive games, including a recent victory over the Spurs, showing excellent team chemistry.
- • New Orleans has a dismal 5-19 record on the road this season compared to Charlotte's recent home success.
- • To have a chance, the Pelicans must dominate the paint with Zion Williamson and improve upon their 23rd-ranked offense.
