PREVIEW: The Charlotte Hornets will look to extend a three-game home winning streak when they face the New Orleans Pelicans on February 2, 2026 at Spectrum Center. Charlotte has won six consecutive games, marking the longest active winning streak in the NBA and the franchise's longest since March 2016. The Hornets rank fourth in efficient free throw shooting at 81.3% and fifth in high frequency three-point attempts at 46.1%, though they struggle with forcing turnovers and rank 29th in turnover creation. In January, the Hornets ranked first in offense and fifth in defense while also standing out as one of the best rebounding teams by percentage and second in true shooting percentage. The Pelicans are having a bad time. New Orleans excels at attacking the rim with the league's highest frequency but ranks 30th in efficiency at the rim and 29th in three-point shooting, while also allowing opponents to take the third-most three-point attempts per game at 45.2%. Trey Murphy III leads the offense at 21.5 points per game while shooting 47% from the field and 36% from three. Despite their overall weaknesses, the Pelicans rank among the league leaders in steals and could exploit a Hornets team that occasionally turns the ball over carelessly.
