Charlotte Hornets Storylines
Since losing to the Milwaukee Bucks on a Giannis Antetokounmpo buzzer-beater on January 2, the Hornets' season has taken a dramatic upward turn. Charlotte was 11-23 after that loss, but the team has won 21 of its last 30 games to bring its record back to .500 and land a spot in the Play-In Tournament.
Charlotte's tremendous turnaround has featured multiple six-game win streaks, the most recent of which was snapped with a 128-120 home loss to the Miami Heat on Friday.
Three starters finished with 20+ points in that one, led by sensational rookie KonKnueppel, who provided 27 points while knocking down six three-pointers. BrandonMiller contributed 22 points, 13 rebounds and five assists, while LaMeloBall added 21 points and five triples. MoussaDiabate led all players with 14 rebounds.
Charlotte is currently the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference, but the team is just three games back of the Philadelphia 76ers for the No. 6 seed. With less than 20 games left in the season, the Hornets will look to climb out of the Play-In or at the very least, hold off the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls, who are 4.5 and 5.5 games back, respectively.
Phoenix Suns Storylines
With a 118-116 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, the Suns improved to 36-27. Like the Hornets, the Suns will need to stack wins down the stretch to avoid the Play-In Tournament and earn a spot in the postseason.
All five of Phoenix's starters scored in double figures in Friday's win, led by DevinBooker, who offered a game-high 32 points with five three-pointers. JalenGreen scored 25 points with three triples, and CollinGillespie nailed four of 11 attempts from beyond the arc to finish with 12 points.
Injuries have plagued Phoenix all season, but the dynamic duo of Booker and Green are trending in the right direction at just the right time. Unfortunately for the Suns, DillonBrooks will be out 4-6 weeks, and MarkWilliams will be sidelined for 2-3 weeks, missing an opportunity to face his former team.
Sunday's showdown will be the first of two head-to-head matchups between the Hornets and Suns this season. The teams split last season's series, as the home team won each of the two games.
