Raptors vs. Hornets preview
With the game approaching, we spoke with Charlotte Hornets On SI contributor Zach Roberts to learn more about the Raptors’ upcoming opponent.
What have the Hornets been up to since their exciting game against the Raptors back on Nov. 17?
A bunch of losing. That game vs the Raptors seemed to imply that a fully healthy Hornets squad could compete with team, but that hasn’t been the case. Healthy or not, nearly beating Toronto was clearly an anomaly.
Can Kon Knueppel really win the Rookie of the Year award?
Kon Knueppel can absolutely win the Rookie of the Year. Will he? Probably not, Cooper Flagg is going to play like Cooper Flagg and probably take over the lead, but it will be much more due to Flagg’s excellence than anything with Knueppel’s game.
If the Hornets were to win the game, what would be the reason why?
If the Hornets win, it’ll be because LaMelo Ball has one of his signature but random games where he scores, rebounds, and assists like few others can. If he just goes off on the offensive end and carries everyone else.
What’s your prediction for the game?
The Raptors should win this handily.The Hornets have a heard time beating anyone that’s not the absolute bottom of the barrel right now, and I have no reason to expect that to change against a good Raptors team.
