Charlotte Hornets will take on Phoenix Suns in NBA 2021-22 on Monday, 03 January 2022 at 05:30 AM IST
With Bridges and Washington clearing the COVID-19 protocols, the Hornets can receive a boost but reCHAber they are questionable to play in this outing.
Paul and Booker match up well against Rozier and Ball, remember among these four, there is plenty of scoring and playmaking, with Booker and Paul being better defensive backcourt.
The Hayward-McDaniels-Plumlee frontcourt is a little outmatched by the Johnson-Smith-Bridges pairing although on his day Hayward can take over games better than any of the three options Suns have at the wing.
In terms of the bench, I give Hornets the advantage especially if PJ Washington returns.
Overall, the Suns have seen how much Ayton and Crowder meant in the regular rotation. They both are quality defenders whereas Ayton helps the team in sealing off the rebounds while also contributing with paint scoring.
The Hornets, on the other hand, can have more options on offense and the Suns with their depleted defense can take a hit. Below is the percentage-wise match-up advantage, in my humble opinion:
Guards: Suns 52% Hornets 48%
Wings: Suns 51% Hornets 49%
Big-Forward/Center: Hornets 55% Suns 45%
Bench: Hornets 59% Suns 41%
Overall: Hornets 53% Suns 47%
