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.

2 Star - A little confident
3 Star - Fairly confident
4 Star - Very confident
5 Star - Should be a lock to happen
Spread: Jazz -2.5
2 Star play on the Jazz : These teams matchup fairly evenly at this point in my eyes, but the edge is going to the Jazz. Markkanen is a tough matchup for Charlotte, but Charlotte has a few guys who can carry the load in this type of game that could step up. I'd stay away from the spread tonight, but if you are dead-set on making a pick the Jazz is where I lean.
Over/Under: 231.5
2 Star play on the under: The under has hit in NINE straight games for the Hornets, a true indictment of life without LaMelo Ball. The last time these teams met the under hit handily as well. Despite that, the Utah defense has been absolutely porous of late, performing even worse than their 115.7 defensive rating on the season. I'm sticking with the under, but confidence is suspiciously low.
My picks for the season
ATS: 5-4 (55.6%)
O/U: 5-4 (55.6%)
Overall: 10-8 (55.6%)
