What you need to know about the Hornets
It was all tied up 57-57 at the half for Charlotte and the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, but Charlotte stepped up in the second half for a 106-102 victory. The Hornets ended the Warriors’ seven-game win streak. The top scorers for Charlotte were power forward Miles Bridges (22 points), point guard LaMelo Ball (21 points), and shooting guard Terry Rozier (20 points).
Bridges is having a breakout season as his 21.5 PPG is double his career scoring average coming into this season.

He is one of five NBA players averaging at least 15 points, seven rebounds and seven assists this season.
What you need to know about the Wizards
Meanwhile, even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, Washington beat the New Orleans Pelicans 105-100 on Monday. The win came about thanks to a strong surge after the half to overcome a 58-41 deficit. Among those leading the charge for the Wizards was point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who had 27 points and nine assists along with five boards.
Washington will have a couple of frontcourt absences as Davis Bertans is out, as are Rui Hachimura and Thomas Bryant, neither of whom have played this season. But the Wizards welcome back Bradley Beal who missed the last two games and is the team’s leading scorer at 23.3 PPG. Three other Wizards are averaging in double-figures and they are all new additions to the team in Dinwiddie, Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell.
