The Charlotte Hornets will play the Washington Wizards tonight at 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. So far, Charlotte has struggled in the preseason, so tonight, the Hornets look for their first preseason win.

The Hornets are 0-3 after dropping two games to the Boston Celtics and one game to the Indiana Pacers. Tonight may be the best chance for Charlotte to get in the win column, as they play the 0-2 Washington Wizards.

The Hornets look to get their first preseason win

The Hornets starters have looked pretty good in their first three preseason games. It’s their bench that has been a little suspect.

The Hornets take on another winless team, the Washington Wizards, tonight, and they look to continue to build their chemistry and hopefully get a win. After tonight’s game, the Hornets have only one more preseason game, which is on October 12 against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Hornets need to develop their chemistry and find what works off the bench to help them succeed when the regular season starts. They have to answer some questions, as well, like, will LiAngelo Ball see some minutes tonight?

If LiAngelo does play, will he see more playing time than he has? What about brother LaMelo? Will he play more minutes on the floor to develop his rhythm?

These are only some of the questions the Hornets have to answer, and they’ll have their chance tonight against the Wizards. Let’s hope we see a great team effort tonight as the Hornets look for their first preseason win.
