The game was moved to 11 a.m. CT due to a blizzard in Charlotte.
The Hornets have won five straight games and boast the 6th-best offensive rating in the NBA. Why this matters: The Spurs defense will be tested.
The Spurs are tied for second place in the West and need to maintain their winning record.
Key injuries for the Spurs include Harrison Ingram, Stanley Umude, David Jones-Garcia, and Jeremy Sochan. The Hornets are missing Mason Plumlee.
The Hornets excel at three-point shooting, ranking 5th in the NBA in both three-pointers made and percentage. Their inside shooting is less effective. The Spurs should focus on defending the perimeter and forcing Charlotte inside where Victor Wembanyama can contest shots. Charlotte is prone to turnovers, ranking third-worst in the NBA. Increased ball pressure from guards like Stephon Castle and De’Aaron Fox could disrupt the Hornets’ offense. A lineup featuring Harper, Castle, Fox, Wembanyama, and Vassell showed promise in the previous game, offering both defensive solidity and offensive playmaking.
