Charlotte (home) vs. Chicago (away)

Current Records: Charlotte 6-10; Chicago 5-11

What to Know

After four games on the road, the Charlotte Hornets are heading back home. They will take on the Chicago Bulls at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at Spectrum Center. If the matchup is anything like the Hornets' 126-125 win from the last time they met October, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

Charlotte came up short against the Washington Wizards on Friday, falling 125-118. SF Miles Bridges put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 31 points in addition to eight rebounds.

Meanwhile, Chicago came up short against the Miami Heat, falling 116-108.

Both teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses this week. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Hornets have allowed their opponents to shoot 48.90% from the floor on average, which is the highest shooting percentage allowed in the league. But Chicago has only been able to knock down 42.70% percent of their shots, which is the third lowest field goal percentage in the league. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
