Phoenix Suns vs Charlotte Hornets prediction

The Phoenix Suns obviously have a clear talent edge and could blow the doors off if they truly wanted to. However, the Suns are on the end of a back to back and just played the Celtics. Possible tired legs and a lack of motivation for the Suns. The Suns are also 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Hornets have also won 2 of their last 3 games, so while they’re terrible overall, they’re still fighting and looking to win games. Big chalk for a team on the road and on the end of a back to back. Give me the Hornets and the points.
