Brooklyn Nets vs Charlotte Hornets prediction

The Brooklyn Nets are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’ve been the better team this season, and they have the rest advantage. However, that means nothing. The Nets have underachieved all year and just lost to the Grizzlies and Pistons. There’s no way I’m laying chalk with the Nets on the road. The Hornets also beat the Nets in the most recent meeting, back in November. It’s the home dog in the Hornets or pass for me.
