Houston Rockets vs Charlotte Hornets: NBA Live Stream, Schedule, Probable Lineups, Injury Report, Form Guide, Head to Head, January 18, 2023

The Houston Rockets will welcome the Charlotte Hornets to Toyota Center for an NBA game on Wednesday. The Rockets lost 140-132 in their last game over the Lakers. “That ranks right at the top,” said Rockets coach Stephen Silas, an assistant on James’ first two teams in Cleveland. “I’ve seen him have some really good (performances), and that was in the top five for sure.”

James scored his 38,000th career point Sunday night in a one-point loss to Philadelphia. “I was extremely exhausted today,” James said. “I could have very easily took tonight off, but … our ballclub couldn’t use me taking a night off, I didn’t feel like. I wanted to sit on that loss with Philly last night. I wanted to get that out of my taste buds and see if we could win a ballgame tonight. It was a complete team effort, and I just tried to make plays.”

The Hornets on the other hand lost 118-130 against the Celtics in their last game. Jalen McDaniels led the Hornets with a career-high 26 points on 5-of-7 shooting from 3-point range. LaMelo Ball finished with 25 points on 8-of-23 shooting. Mason Plumlee had perhaps his best all-around game of the season, with 19 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for the Hornets (11-34), who’ve lost eight of their last nine games.

The Celtics set the tone early, jumping out to a 35-22 lead in the first quarter after holding the Hornets to 28.6% shooting from the floor. Charlotte would fight back to cut the lead to 100-98 early in the fourth quarter, but White was fouled by Dennis Smith Jr. on a 3-point attempt and made all three free throws.
