Charlotte Hornets Home Opener

When: Fri., Oct. 20, 7 p.m. 2017

The Bugs are back. All eyes are on the newly acquired Dwight Howard, who we certainly hope can show signs of the Superman he once was, but we’ll be checking for Malik Monk, the shooting guard the Hornets picked up with the 11th overall pick back in June. Not to jinx anything, but there’s speculation that Monk could be the Hornets’ best draft pick since Kemba Walker, and that potential alone has us excited for the new season.
