The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a thrilling 125-124 victory against the Indiana Pacers. However, their matchup against the Dallas Mavericks tonight promises to be a challenging one, as they have had little rest and had to travel to Dallas late last night. Additionally, the Hornets may be without Terry Rozier for an extended period due to a groin injury he suffered in the win over the Pacers. Due to Rozier's injury, it's likely that Brandon Miller will make his first NBA start earlier than anticipated. Miller has had a strong start to his rookie campaign, averaging 14.4 points per game and will be a valuable addition to the Hornets' lineup. Keep an eye on PJ Washington, who historically performs well against the Mavericks. In eight previous meetings with Dallas, Washington has averaged 16.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists. Dallas is also where Washington grew up, and there were rumors of the Mavericks signing him this summer. Washington has recorded three consecutive 20+ point performances against the Mavericks.
