Charlotte @ Toronto

Current Records: Charlotte 11-30; Toronto 17-23

What to Know

This Tuesday, the Charlotte Hornets are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.15 points per game. Their road trip will continue as they head to Scotiabank Arena at 7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday to face off against the Toronto Raptors. The Hornets might not be the betting favorite, but it's doubtful the players in their locker room care too much about that.

Charlotte was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 116-111 to the Indiana Pacers. Charlotte's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of center Mason Plumlee, who dropped a double-double on 18 points and 13 rebounds, and power forward P.J. Washington, who had 22 points in addition to five boards. That makes it five consecutive games in which Plumlee has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, Toronto didn't have too much trouble with the Portland Trail Blazers at home on Sunday as they won 117-105. Toronto's small forward Scottie Barnes looked sharp as he had 22 points along with nine boards.

Charlotte was completely in charge when the two teams previously met in February of last year, breezing past the Raptors 125-93 at home. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hornets since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
