Recent history between the Hornets and Timberwolves

There are few teams in the NBA that the Hornets have dominated, but the T-Wolves are one of them. Charlotte leads the all-time series, 43-25; however, Minnesota did sweep the two-game set a year ago and earned a split the year before. Charlotte lost last year's games by 15 and 21.

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

The Hornets are currently 5.5-point underdogs in this one, which is no surprise considering Brandon Miller is out and LaMelo Ball is listed as questionable. If Ball is unable to play, it's going to put a ton of pressure on Tre Mann to step up and play much better on the offensive end to replace Ball's production. The matchup in the frontcourt of Miles Bridges/Ryan Kalkbrenner vs. Julius Randle/Rudy Gobert is one that, on paper, heavily tilts to Minnesota. The over/under is sitting at 230.5.
