Why the Engine Rates Charlotte Hornets This Way

OFFENCE58DEFENCE78NET75HOME35AWAY70

Charlotte Hornets finished 45–39 in the 2025–26 regular season, 9th in the Eastern Conference.

They scored 115.8 a game, 13th of 30, against a league average of 115.6. At the other end they conceded 111.5 — 7th best in the league, where the average team gives up 115.6.

That leaves a net rating of +4.4 per game, 8th in the league. Net rating is the closest thing basketball has to a single honest number for how good a team is — it survives pace, schedule and garbage time better than a win-loss record does.

Home and away barely separate them — 22–20 at home against 23–19 on the road. A team that travels this well is harder to fade in either building.

Every axis is a percentile against the other 29 teams, computed at page load from the 2025–26 regular season only — preseason and playoffs are excluded so the record, the rates and the ratings all describe the same games. Pace, true shooting and rebound rate are not shown because this site does not yet store possession data, and a grade with nothing behind it is worth less than none.
