Players to watch

Brandon Ingram (TOR): I'll take the low-hanging fruit here in Ingram. I don't always go with the opposing team's leading scorer, but tonight I am. In the first two meetings between these two, Ingram was his usual self, scoring 27 and 22. Last time out, however, he was held in check, finishing the night with just seven points on 3/13 shooting in 29 minutes. I don't expect the Hornets to hold him to single digits again, but preventing a 20+ point night would go a long way in trying to keep the winning streak alive.

Moussa Diabate (CHA): This is a first, giving Moussa some shine here. Jakob Poeltl will miss tonight's game, so instead, he'll have a much more manageable matchup against the 6'9" Sandro Mamukelashvili. I'm not looking for some random 15-20 point night from the Moose, but maybe he can reach that total on the boards.

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

After crushing the defending champs, the Hornets are starting to get some respect. As of this writing, they are just 1.5-point underdogs at home against a team that is seven games over .500. I call that improvement. The over/under is 230.5.
