With the injuries listed there are plenty of minutes available for Valančiūnas, George & Champagnie. Maybe even see Vukevic get some PT.
Hopefully George and Champagnie use this game to get their mojo back.

From NBC SPORTS:
Game odds for Hornets vs. Wizards
The latest odds as of Thursday:
Odds: Hornets (-163), Wizards (137)
Spread: Hornets -3.5
Over/Under: 226.5 points
That gives the Hornets an implied team point total of 114.33, and the Wizards 112.51
Based on the above from NBC Sports I’m thinking the Hornets are slightly favored to win. But I also see NBCSports isn’t taking any bets for this game. So to me this feels like it’s too close to call.
Time to trim the point differential.
Go Wizards !!!

Champagnie making up for lost time! 7 points in 7 minutes -- on 3 shots! -- to go with 2 boards, a steal & a block. Work!

I like Brogdon. Can we keep him?

Kyshawn's offense sucks but he's a good defender

Some ugly basketball in the 4th quarter and the Wiz are trying to get their tank going.

Not sure how Charlotte so bad. Ball, Miller, Bridges, Williams, Salaun a decent core. Not impressed with how they play though, shot selection is terrible, bad fouls, and poor defense. They appear uncoached.

We are not the worst team! Bring on the Pels, Raps, Jazz, and Deni’s new team, we can climb rankings.

Nice to get a win for team morale. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us.

Good win
Fun game too. I like how the young guys compete. Bilal and Sarr made winning plays. Kyshawn was superb defensively

Ky didn't shoot well but other than that, he was
doing the right things.
Sarr looking good. Not many boards though.
Key tip in late though.
Bub has to avoid fouls better. The first foul was okay,
but you can't get a second one 5 sec later even if it
was kind of a BS call.
When he was on court, he was mostly solid and
unlike a 19 yo.
Poole is suddenly playing much more consistently.
When he's hot, he's crazy. When he's not, he can be crazy/silly.
Kudos for gutting it out after being hurt.
Whenever he is efficient, he suddenly makes our O
good (or at least much better) all by himself.
Bilal had a good game but his shooting remains
erratic. Does a job defensively (usually on the other teams
primary wing threat)
Kispert is playing more like he should be expected to.

Kyshawn was drafted with a reputation for being a shooter, which he hasn’t been very good at. But he’s played well on defense and shown some decent play making skills.
Hopefully, his shooting comes around.

It occurs to me that if Key is still in the middle of a growth spurt it may take a minute for him to recalibrate on the fly.
Recall the team docs said his growth plates are still open and he may top out at 6’10”. I recall being awkward while I stretched from 5’6” to 6’3” and it took me a minute to figure out where I started & finished and for the muscle to catch up.
