Borrego’s side must win. There won’t be a better opportunity. The New Orleans Pelicans are weakened by the losses of Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum, so they probably won’t be able to put up a good fight against the Hornets.
Both teams have an attacking style of play. This is especially true for the Hornets, for who scoring about 120 points is no problem at all.
The Charlotte Hornets are scoring 114 points per game on average. The Hornets have scored more than 114.5 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
The Pelicans have strengthened their position. The Louisiana side is now tenth in the Western Conference standings. They are two wins ahead of 11th-placed Portland. So far, the New Orleans Pelicans are in the play-in zone, but the team needs to improve their game.
