What to Know

This Friday, the Charlotte Hornets are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 117.39 points per game. They might have tired legs after a matchup yesterday as they head on the road against the Dallas Mavericks at 8:30 p.m. ET March 24 at American Airlines Center. The Hornets and Dallas are even-steven over their past 14 head-to-heads (7-7).

The contest between Charlotte and the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday was not particularly close, with Charlotte falling 115-96. Power forward P.J. Washington (18 points) was the top scorer for Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Dallas was close but no cigar on Wednesday as they fell 127-125 to the Golden State Warriors. The Mavericks' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of point guard Luka Doncic, who dropped a double-double on 30 points and 17 assists in addition to seven rebounds, and shooting guard Jaden Hardy, who shot 6-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 27 points and five boards.

The losses put the Hornets at 23-51 and Dallas at 36-37. Charlotte is 14-36 after losses this year, Dallas 20-16.
