The Charlotte Hornets play host to the Portland Trail Blazers at Spectrum Center on Sunday evening.

The Hornets (27-28) have dropped six of their last 10 games, including their last four in a row. They have lost four straight games at home but will look to get back on track and add to their, 13-12, home record. Terry Rozier leads the team, averaging 20.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals, in 34 minutes per game. Devonte' Graham is averaging 14.2 points, 5.2 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals, while Miles Bridges is averaging 11.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. The Hornets average 110.3 points per game, which is ninth fewest in the league and they are shooting an average of 45.8 percent from the field, which is 10th lowest in the league. On the other end, they are giving up an average of 111.7 points per game, and they are allowing opponents to shoot an average of 46.8 percent from the field. Gordon Hayward (foot) remains out.

Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers (31-22) are coming off a win in their most recent outing, but they are, 5-5, in their last 10 games. They will look to get back on track and continue building on their, 16-11, road record, as they face the second and final game of a road trip. Damian Lillard (hamstring) missed the Blazers' most recent contest and will remain sidelined through Sunday's action. On the bright side, C.J. McCollum is playing well, averaging 21.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals, over the last 10 games. Enes Kanter is averaging 12.0 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, while Norman Powell is averaging 17.2 points on 45 percent shooting. The Trail Blazers are averaging 114.6 points per game, which is seventh most in the league, and they are shooting an average of 38.0 percent from long range, which is sixth best in the league. They also do a great job taking care of the ball, as they limit themselves to 11.1 turnovers per game, which is second fewest in the league.
