At the beginning of the season, Charlotte and Washington claimed ambitions to make the playoffs, as Boston and Toronto looked very weak in the first weeks of the regular season. Now the former are in the play-in zone, while the latter have long ago lost their chances for the top-10. The game is scheduled to start on 10 April at 20:30 UK time.

Most likely, for Washington, it does not matter how the last game of the regular season will end, as it will be on the road. Kristaps Porzingis hasn’t fully adapted yet, so it’s hard to call him a leader. Bradley Beal is still recovering from his injury.
The Charlotte Hornets players need to keep themselves in shape to approach the play-in games. Two wins in a row helped the Hornets believe in their strength, but the most important thing is to finish the main tournament on a positive note.
The Hornets are on fire, so there’s no reason to go out on a limb right now. The Wizards are ready to delight the fans with an interesting game.
The Hornets have scored more than 124.5 points in four of their last five head-to-head games.

The Hornets, with great difficulty, still managed to take tenth place in the Eastern Conference. It’s hard to call this achievement a success, but we shouldn’t forget that the team is young enough, very promising and can perform both well and badly in the play-in.
The Hornets are coming into the last game of the regular season after two straight wins. The Charlotte Hornets managed to defeat the Orlando Magic (128-101) and Chicago Bulls (133-117). It seemed that the Bulls would be more aggressive in the previous meeting, but Lamelo Ball and company were up to the task.
In the game against the Bulls, LaMelo Ball scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists.

The capital club tried to fight for their place in the sun, but an injury to Bradley Beal turned all plans upside down. The team was left without its offensive leader and consequently, the team fell apart.
The Washington Wizards lost their last two meetings, even though the club was well aware that even if the outcome was different, the situation would not change. Wes Unseld’s men lost to the Atlanta Hawks (103-118) and New York Knicks (92-114). Now there’s nothing to do but wait for next season and the game against the Charlotte Hornets won’t matter much.
In the game against the Knicks, Rui Hachimura scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
