Four straight losses? Eyes still remain on Egor Demin. The 19-year-old went for a career-high 23 points to go along with nine rebounds and five assists against Philadelphia on Friday. It wasn’t only his three-point shooting; he got to the rim and showed some prowess as a downhill guard. Same goes for Danny Wolf, who dropped a career-high 22 points against Milwaukee. Both have an opportunity to get 1% better tonight… and that’s the whole point.

As far as the Hornets go, the backcourt of Lamelo Ball and Kon Knueppel can be dangerous for the Nets defense. Even though there has been a plethora of trade rumors concerning Ball, it’s hard to argue against the notion that he is one of the most talented guards in the league, and with Knueppel making a strong case for ROTY, the Nets backcourt will have to defend tin order to take the victory.
