The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
The Charlotte Hornets are playing good basketball as of late, which includes winning their last five games by an average of 7.8 points. However, I’m not backing the Hornets against elite level teams on the road unless the number is worth it. We only have to lay a bucket with the Nets, one of the hotter teams in the league and a team that wins at home by an average of 6.2 points. I understand the Nets have some injuries and will be a bit shorthanded, but I’ll still lay the bucket.
