Hornets Surge in East Standings, Face Suns in Crucial Matchup
The Charlotte Hornets, despite not playing yesterday, have moved up to eighth in the Eastern Conference standings. With the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic losing, the Hornets now have a record of 40-36, just three and a half games behind the top spots.
Tonight, they face the Phoenix Suns, who are currently seventh in the West with the same record. A win could put significant pressure on the teams above them in the conference.
The Suns have been on a roll this season, improving beyond expectations after trading away Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Theyve increased their three-point volume, now ranking fifth in the league.
The Hornets are aware of the Suns strength, having lost a game 119-99 earlier this season. The key to tonights game will be defending against Devin Booker and Collin Gillespie in pick-and-roll sets and matching the Suns three-point shooting.
The game is set to take place at Spectrum Center, and a Hornets win could significantly impact the play-in race.
