Sooner or later, the Brooklyn Nets will have to break their losing streak. We believe it will happen in the upcoming meeting. The Hornets are significantly weaker than the Heat and Celtics. Durant and company should be able to handle such an opponent. Most likely, the visitors will break their losing streak.
The Charlotte Hornets have one of the worst defensive lines in the league. At the same time, Borrego’s men are good on offence. With that in mind, we think the encounter will be quite productive.
Against the Brooklyn Nets, Miles Bridges is averaging 30.5 points.
The Charlotte Hornets improved slightly. James Borrego’s team managed to win their last two games. In those encounters, the Hornets defeated the Cleveland Cavs (119-98) and San Antonio Spurs(123-117). Those successes allowed the Charlotte Hornets to return to eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

It should be noted that Borrego’s men are still poor on defence. In 3 of their last 4 games, they conceded at least 117 points. With that kind of play under the basket, it’s hard to count on success.
In the game against the Spurs, Terry Rozier scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
Brooklyn Nets:
Despite Durant’s return, the Brooklyn Nets still can’t win. Steve Nash’s side has lost their last four games. Not all of the games were hopeless. For example, the Nets managed to take on the Miami Heat (107-131) and Boston Celtics (120-126).

Against the Charlotte Hornets, we’d expect Kyrie Irving to be on the court. His presence will be a big help to Kevin Durant. Maybe this tandem will finally work out for the Nets.
In the game against the Celtics, Kevin Durant scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists.
