Can anybody help explain why we have an extra game put in against the Raptors on Dec 8th next week?

Does this mean we no longer play them twice at the end of the season?

I am a season ticket holder and i got a mail from Hornets trying to sell me this as an extra game, so i think it is an extra? And we play 83?

    Probably one of our few remotely winnable games for the next ~5 weeks

    December was going to be brutal for us with or without LaMelo. We had a pretty cupcake schedule to this point, and needed to do a lot better than 5-11 to stay afloat. Our next 16 games are:

    @ Brooklyn Nets Minnesota Timberwolves @ Chicago Bulls Toronto Raptors Miami Heat @ Miami Heat New Orleans Pelicans Philadelphia 76ers @ Toronto Raptors @ Indiana Pacers Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Clippers @ Los Angeles Lakers @ Phoenix Suns @ Denver Nuggets @ Sacramento Kings

    I think even with a healthy top 7 (which for the record I am high on, when healthy), we were maybe going 5-11 or 6-10. Now if we assume LaMelo misses all of these, which places Rozier out of position at PG and forces Ish or Theo Maledon into extended minutes, I legitimately worry about 2-14 or even worse.

    we’re gonna be somewhere between 7-25 and 9-23 in early January lol
