17 Feb
Summary
- Hornets aim to sweep Rockets after winning 10 of 11 games.
- Brandon Miller averages over 20 points in last 11 Hornets games.
- Kevin Durant leads Rockets, while Alperen Sengun seeks rebound.
The Charlotte Hornets, victorious in 10 of their last 11 contests, are preparing to host the Houston Rockets this Thursday at Spectrum Center. This inter-conference clash sees the Hornets aiming to secure a season sweep after their initial 109-99 victory over the Rockets.
Key for the Rockets will be All-Star forward Kevin Durant, who continues to perform at a high level. However, attention is also on center Alperen Sengun to improve upon his previous seven-point performance against the Hornets.
Meanwhile, the Hornets have been impressive, largely due to the stellar play of forward Brandon Miller. Miller has scored 20 or more points in eight of the last eleven games, leading Charlotte's offensive charge alongside other key players. The Rockets will need contributions from players like Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson to counter the Hornets' recent momentum.
