Who’s PlayingCharlotte @ New OrleansCurrent Records: Charlotte 23-50; New Orleans 35-37What to KnowThe Charlotte Hornets have enjoyed the comforts of home their last five games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the New Orleans Pelicans at 8 p.m. ET Thursday at Smoothie King Center after having had a few days off. Allowing an average of 117.42 points per game, Charlotte has been asleep on the defensive side of the ball and will need to wake up before the matchup. The Hornets didn’t have too much breathing room in their contest with the Indiana Pacers on Monday, but they still walked away with a 115-109 win. The victory came about thanks to a strong surge after the first quarter to overcome a 40-22 deficit. Charlotte got their victory on the backs of several key players, and it was shooting guard Kelly Oubre Jr. out in front picking up 28 points. A well-balanced attack led New Orleans over the San Antonio Spurs every single quarter on their way to victory on Tuesday. New Orleans really took it to San Antonio for a full four quarters, racking up a 119-84 victory at home. With the Pelicans ahead 64-39 at the half, the game was all but over already. It was another big night for their small forward Brandon Ingram, who had 32 points and seven assists. Their wins bumped the Hornets to 23-50 and New Orleans to 35-37. We’ll see who can continue their climb to a .500 record.
