The Charlotte Hornets (7-20; 11-16 ATS) start a six-game road trip, hoping to break out of their slump. Last Saturday, the Hornets lost to the Denver Nuggets 102-95 as 10.5-point home underdogs and extended their losing streak to seven games.

Miles Bridges led the way for the Hornets with 22 points and seven rebounds, and PJ Washington added a line of 20 points, eight boards, four steals, and a couple of steals and assists.
