What to watch for

The Wizards are coming off of Sunday’s 103-97 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.

Charlotte is coming off a 98-94 loss to the Brooklyn Nets yesterday at home. Unlike the Wizards’ game against Brooklyn last Friday, the Nets were competitive throughout the contest despite being down several key players.

I would not look at the team record to predict an outcome of this game since the Hornets are 3-7 at the moment. Rather, I’d look at recent team momentum. The Wizards are coming off their worst loss this season, while the Hornets may look at their last game with a “glass half full” mentality.

Despite yesterday’s comeback, Washington is the underdog tomorrow. They’re going to be that way for awhile, unfortunately.

The Wizards will tip off against the Hornets at 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 7. All nationally televised NBA games can be watched on SlingTV.
