The Hornets are currently on an 8-game losing streak and hold a 1-9 record in their last 10 games. They hold a 14-47 record and are seeded 14th in the Eastern Conference and 4th in the Southeast Division, ahead of the Washington Wizards. The Charlotte Hornets’ last win came against the Los Angeles Lakers.

On the offensive end, the Hornets currently average 105.2 points per game, which is the second-lowest scoring total in the league, even after the likes of Lamelo Ball, who averages 26.2 points per game. Lamelo Ball, arguably snubbed from the all-star team, averages 26.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.2 steals a game. While they are conceding a lot less than before, with an average total of 113.1 points conceded, ranking them 14th overall. The Hornets are a great rebounding team and are currently ranked 5th with 45.8 rebounds a game. Miles Bridges has been playing fabulous lately, averaging 20.3 points and 7.8 rebounds a game. The lack of bench strength and role players makes the Hornets a miserable offensive team. The Hornets shoot 33.9% from the 3-point line and 49.1% from the 2-point line. 

Currently, the Charlotte Hornets do not have any players injured other than Brandon Miller, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-2025 NBA season with a surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist. Lamelo Ball, Nick Smith Jr., Josh Green, Miles Bridge, and Mark Williams make up the starting five for the Hornets.

Brooklyn Nets

After winning three games in a row, the Brooklyn Nets seemed to have lost their way as they managed to win just one game in their last 7 games. January was harsh for the New York team considering that they managed to win just 2 games of the 14 played. However, in February, the team has been playing better basketball, winning 6 and losing just 4. However, in March they haven't won any match as of yet, and are currently on a 6-game losing streak. When writing, the Brooklyn Nets hold a 21-41 record, placing them 11th in the Eastern Conference and 3rd in the Atlantic Division.

One of their key players is Cam Thomas, who averages 24.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists but has managed to play in just 22 games so far. In his absence, Cameron Johnson leads the team with 19 points per game. The team ranks 28th in terms of offense scoring a mere 105.2 points per game, but has been solid defensively, ranking them 11th overall as they allow opponents 111.7 points per game. However, regarding points differential, the team lies on the negative with -6.5. They average 41 rebounds per game, ranking them 29th in this category and 24th in terms of assists as the team manages to assist just 24.8 assists a game.

The Nets are also grappling with significant injury issues with no player playing all 56 games this season. They currently have 3 players injured. Cam Thomas is said to be making significant progress and has returned to the paying 5. Noah Clowney finds himself injured from the Nets' roster. For the upcoming game against the Hornets, the potential starting lineup includes D’Angelo Russell at point guard, Cam Thomas at shooting guard, Z. Williams at small forward, Cameroon Johnson at power forward, and Nic Claxton at center.
