Charlotte Hornets:

The Hornets are looking to bounce back after falling 112-86 to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. Miles Bridges and Kon Knueppel each scored 19 points in the loss. Knueppel, who was drafted fourth overall by the Hornets in 2025, is currently second on the team in scoring and leads all rookies with 19.4 points per game.

The Hornets (9-19) are 12th in the Eastern Conference and look to avoid their ninth losing season.

Cleveland Cavaliers:

The Cavaliers have lost their last three straight games, most recently falling to the Chicago Bulls in back-to-back contests last Wednesday (127-111) and Friday (136-125). Cleveland has had to adjust for much of the season while dealing with injuries to several key players. Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarett Allen have only played together in 4 of 29 possible games this season.

Mitchell, who leads the Cavaliers with an average of 30.7 points per game, missed Friday's game with an illness and will be a game-time decision tonight.
