Why the Charlotte Hornets will win

Hornets vs Nets Injury Report

The Charlotte Hornets will be without Brandon Miller due to a wrist injury. LaMelo Ball will be out with an ankle injury.

The Nets will be without Maxwell Lewis, Bojan Bogdanovic, Cameron Johnson, Cam Thomas, and Noah Clowney.

Hornets vs Nets Prediction

The Brooklyn Nets feel like a team that’s in tank mode, as they’ve lost seven straight games and nine of their last 10 games overall. The Nets’ injury report also remains quite lengthy, which doesn’t help. The Charlotte Hornets have issues of their own, but they’ve been able to find wins here and there and have seen eight of their 12 wins come at home. Even without their two best players, Ball and Miller, the Hornets are still competing and trying to win. I’m not sure if we can say the same about the Nets. If the Nets can’t be favored against a team missing its two best players, Brooklyn will likely go a long time before it’s expected to win a game. I’ll lay the bucket with the Hornets.
