Washington Wizards face Charlotte Hornets in NBA matchup

The Washington Wizards are scheduled to play the Charlotte Hornets at the Spectrum Center on Monday, October 26. Both teams currently hold 2-1 records for the season.

The Hornets are playing without Kon Knueppel and Coby White due to injuries, but have found success led by Naz Reid. The team is notably different following the trade of LaMelo Ball to acquire Reid.

The Wizards enter the game facing several absences, including top draft pick AJ Dybansta, Jamir Watkins, and Tristan Vukcevic. The team has struggled with defensive consistency and pace in recent outings.
