What you need to know about the Hornets

The Hornets' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Monday after their third straight defeat. The match between the Hornets and Celtics wasn't particularly close, with Charlotte falling 118-104. The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Miles Bridges, who dropped a double-double with 26 points and 11 rebounds. For the season, Bridges is averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. 

The Hornets are now 1-8 in their last nine games. Charlotte has also lost four of its last five games at home. Charlotte's struggles can be directly attributed to its ineffective offense. The Hornets are scoring just 106.3 points per game, which ranks 29th in the NBA. 

What you need to know about the Trail Blazers

Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers suffered their 10th straight loss in a 104-103 defeat against the Magic on Monday. Despite the defeat, the Trail Blazers got a solid performance out of Dalano Banton, who scored 26 points to go along with five assists and five rebounds. 

The Trail Blazers will look to snap their losing streak on Wednesday against the Hornets. However, Portland has lost each of its last seven games on the road. The Trail Blazers will likely be without Jerami Grant on Wednesday after he was downgraded to doubtful with a hamstring injury. Grant is averaging 21.0 points per game this season.
