Can Hornets Sting Trail Blazers at Moda Center?

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face off against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Hornets have shown a significant upswing in performance, with a notable victory over the Hawks where they led for over 41 minutes and secured a 23-point win. Their offensive rating of 123.48 and defensive rating of 100.20 from that game highlight an impressive balance between scoring prowess and defensive solidity.

The team's shooting efficiency has been particularly noteworthy; in their last three games, they've averaged an effective field goal percentage of around 62 percent, which is well above league average. This sharpshooting has been complemented by strong rebounding numbers, with an average of over 50 rebounds per game during this stretch.

However, consistency remains a challenge for the Hornets as they've also experienced turnovers that could be costly against a disciplined Trail Blazers squad. With an average of nearly 17 turnovers per game in their last outings, ball security will be crucial for Charlotte.
