Charlotte's Offense Looks for Consistency

The Hornets average 98.8 points per game and shoot 40 percent from the field, numbers that put pressure on their defense to keep games close. Their 46.1 rebounds per game offer a potential way to create extra chances, but 19.0 total turnovers per game can give those opportunities back.

Charlotte's latest result was a 124-112 win over Cleveland, a sharp reversal from its 80-119 loss to Boston. The Hornets also scored 104 in a road loss to Brooklyn after putting up 91 against Detroit. Those swings make the Cleveland performance encouraging without making it a settled trend. Charlotte lost to Philadelphia as well, meaning its recent win followed four straight defeats in the games shown. To challenge Phoenix, the Hornets need the scoring from the Cleveland game to travel better than it did to Brooklyn.

Phoenix's Home Results Offer an Opening

Phoenix averages 112.8 points per game, shoots 47 percent from the field and has a 4-3 home record. Devin Booker leads the Suns with 25.1 points per game. That stronger scoring profile gives Phoenix an apparent edge, though allowing 118.1 points per game leaves opponents a path into the contest.

The Suns answered a 96-122 loss to San Antonio with a 133-110 win over the LA Clippers in their most recent game. Their other recent home results include wins over Houston and Orlando, alongside a 119-132 loss to Portland. Phoenix has therefore shown it can score freely and recover from a poor outing, but its home games have not all followed the same script. The Houston win came with 102 points, suggesting the Suns can also prevail when their offense is less explosive. Containing Charlotte remains important.
