Charlotte Hornets at Washington Wizards: Prediction
Charlotte has been playing competitive basketball as of late but has still failed to register wins, as they have now lost two in a row after snapping their eight-game losing streak in a game against the Orlando Magic last Monday night.
Washington has won five of their last six games, with the only loss coming by one point against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With home court advantage, a healthier roster, and more positive momentum, look for the Wizards to pick up the win in tonight’s contest.
