Absences Mount as Charlotte Searches for Answers on Offense
Injuries to LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward, Malik Monk and now PJ Washington are really starting to catch up to the Hornets now after they got swept in a three-game homestand earlier this week. The team posted an offensive rating of 104.4 across this stretch, while averaging just 94.7 points on 43% shooting and 33% from three. It appeared Charlotte generally had decent ball movement over this span and was getting solid looks – shots just weren’t falling. With a full day off between games, hopefully the Hornets have had some time to re-tinker the offense as they look to put points on the board any way they can.
