Keys to the game:

The Rockets are heading into this game, making 14.4 three-pointers per game. The Hornets will need to defend the three and limit outside shots. Charlotte has had a problem in various games doing this so far this season, so the team will need to make this a priority.

Moreover, the Hornets will need to limit the scoring of Oladipo and Wall. Both of these players are the next best players on the team with Wood out. Those two players can have a breakout game at any moment, and Charlotte should look not to be on their highlight reels.

Lastly, the Charlotte Hornets need to take advantage of the Rockets size in the paint. The Rockets have no size coming off the bench since Cousins is starting. If the Hornets can attack the pain with their bigs, then they should have a good game.
