Hornets Look To Build On Three-Game Streak
The Charlotte Hornets play host to the Brooklyn Nets at Spectrum Center on Saturday evening.

The Hornets (19-36) look to keep the momentum going, as they came up victorious in their first contest after the all-star break, to mark their third straight win. They dropped their last two home games but have yet to play at home since the break and look to add to their 8-17 home record. Devonte' Graham leads the team with 17.8 points, 7.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game, however, he came up scoreless in 33 minutes of action in the Hornets' most recent contest. Terry Rozier is averaging 17.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game. Miles Bridges continues to contribute effectively, averaging 13.2 points on 44 percent shooting, including 34 percent from long range, 5.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. The Hornets average 11.1 offensive rebounds per game, which is tied for second most in the league. They average a league-low 102.9 points per game and are giving up an average of 109.9 points against.

Meanwhile, the Nets (25-29) have won six of their last 10 games but dropped their first game back after the all-star break, as they fell short in overtime in Philly on Thursday. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) will remain sidelined for the remainder of the season, leaving much more room for Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert to continue to operate. Dinwiddie is averaging 21.0 points, 6.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, while LeVert is averaging 15.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. DeAndre Jordan totaled 14 points, 15 rebounds and four assists in the Nets' most recent contest and does a great job providing energy off the bench. Jordan is averaging 8.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks, in 22 minutes per game. The Nets average 48.3 rebounds per game, which is second most in the league.
