3 THINGS TO LOOK FOR

2. The Hornets have the best defensive rebounding percentage in the entire NBA. If you miss, they don't give you much of an opportunity to get the ball back. However they have the third worst offensive rebounding percentage, so they also don't get many second chance points.

3. Having Kemba Walker back adds another dimension to Charlotte's game. It's unknown whether or not Walker will start or come off the bench in his return. Still, having Walker and Williams gives Charlotte two guards that can slice a defense apart. Williams has averaged 21.4 points per game in 10 games with Charlotte and given his shooting ability I wouldn't be surprised to see him share court time with Walker to provide a unique look.
