Point Spread Pick for Hornets vs. Hawks
- Charlotte Hornets to cover. (4 Units)
The Hornets have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively, scoring over 117 points per game on the road. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 81 percent of their free throws on the road. Their ball movement has been very good, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 14 offensive rebounds per game in their last three games, which will give them more scoring chances. The Hawks are one of the worst teams in the league defensively, and they gave up more than 120 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Hornets. Take Charlotte to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Hornets vs. Jazz
