What to Know

The Hornets have played every game this season on their home court, but they'll have to hit the road on Wednesday. They will take on the Houston Rockets at 8:00 p.m. ET at Toyota Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Last Monday, Charlotte couldn't handle Brooklyn and fell 133-121. That's two games in a row now that the Hornets have lost by exactly 12 points.

Meanwhile, the Rockets' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Sunday after their third straight loss. They fell 106-95 to Golden State. The Rockets found out winning isn't easy when you make nine fewer threes than your opponent.

In addition to losing their last games, both teams failed to cover the spread. As for their next game, the Rockets are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. This will be Charlotte's first time playing on the road this season.

The Hornets couldn't quite finish off the Rockets in their previous matchup back in April and fell 112-109. Can the Hornets avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
