Tonight's Players to Watch

C Alex Sarr (WAS): The second-year big man has been the Wizards' best player this season on both ends, averaging 18.9 points and 1.9 blocks per game. With Mason Plumlee out and Ryan Kalkbrenner questionable for Charlotte, it could be easy pickings for Sarr tonight. Earlier this season, Sarr put up 23 points on 9/15 shooting against the Hornets in a 26-point loss back in late October.

G Collin Sexton (CHA): The veteran guard is potentially returning to the lineup tonight, currently listed as probable. Sexton hasn't played in a game since December 3rd, so there will undoubtedly be some rust, but with the young core completely healthy, he won't have much pressure on him in his return.

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

There will only be a few games this season where the Hornets are favored, but tonight is one of them, and understandably so. The Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA, but since snapping their 14-game skid a month ago, they've gone 4-7. Charlotte is currently a 6-point favorite, and the over/under is 237.5.
