NBA action continues at the Spectrum Center when the Charlotte Hornets take on the San Antonio Spurs this Friday night. The Hornets (12-36) are 14th in the Eastern Conference, while the Spurs (22-26) are 12th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Charlotte Hornets are in a major rut and conceded a sixth consecutive defeat, a 112-102 loss at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. 

Nick Smith Jr. was the only Hornets player to break the 20-point mark, as the team shot a poor 43% from their 88 field attempts and lost the overall rebounds, assists and block battles. 

Charlotte has produced the third-weakest offence in the league (106.9 points per game) while providing a significantly stronger defence that allows 112.2 PPG (12th overall). 

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs encountered the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday when Victor Wembanyama secured a closely fought 126-125 victory in the last three seconds of the game. 

Newly acquired Da’Aaron Fox immediately found his range in a Spurs jersey, sinking 24 points, securing five rebounds and providing 13 assists in his debut match. 

The Spurs currently average 112.8 points per game (15th overall) while their marginally weaker defence allows 114.3 PPG (19th in the league).
