The preseason is nearly over and we are just 10 days away from the regular season.
Two teams that have raised expectations in the NBA are the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.
With swingman Paul Pierce going down on Friday night and guard Bradley Beal out six-to-eight week, the Wizards’ expectations may be on hold but they still have very high goals.
The Hornets finally got back to the postseason in 2014 and added former Indiana Pacers’ guard Lance Stephenson in the offseason, which is why they feel they can advance in the postseason. One player who could play a key role for the Hornets is former No. 2 overall pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. In the Hornets’ 96-86 victory over the Wizards on Friday, he had 12 points, 11 rebounds, four steals, two assists and two blocks.
He also had a huge dunk, putting Wizards’ center Marcin Gortat on a poster.
