The Charlotte Hornets are set to enhance their backcourt depth for tonight's game against the Houston Rockets, despite the absence of Brandon Miller due to an ankle injury.

Recalled from the G-League, KJ Simpson and Nick Smith Jr. will be available, likely coming off the bench to support LaMelo Ball and Vasilije Micic. Simpson has averaged 3.9 points and 2.0 assists this season, while Smith Jr. has contributed 3.1 points per game.
