Spread & Over/Under Predictions for Hornets vs. Trail Blazers
Can the Hornets cover the spread?
Each game day, we at All Hornets will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of Charlotte Hornets games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.
Star ratings:
1 Star - Not very confident
2 Star - A little confident
3 Star - Fairly confident
4 Star - Very confident
5 Star - Should be a lock to happen
Spread: Hornets -1.5
4 Star play on the Hornets (-1.5): The Blazers have lost ten straight and are in the same boat injury-wise as the Hornets. Charlotte played Boston tough on Monday night and despite there being nothing to play for, they continue to play with great effort. This isn't going to be the smoothest of games by any means, but the Hornets are the better team in this one. Don't overthink it.
Over/Under: 212.5
3 Star play on the over: The over has cashed in seven of the last night for Portland and in five of the last six for Charlotte. The Hornets have reached the century mark in three of their last four which is a sign that the offense has improved ever so slightly over the past week or so. I don't expect this to fly over the total but I do think 212.5 is a few points too low.
My picks this season
ATS: 25-25 (50%)
O/U: 25-25 (50%)
Overall: 50-50 (50%)
