Trail Blazers vs Hornets prediction

I’m not running to the window to back either the Trail Blazers or Hornets, as neither team is winning games or covering numbers. It’s tank mode for both the Trail Blazers and Hornets. With that said, the Hornets are at home where 10 of their 18 wins have come, and they’ve had more recent success. The Trail Blazers haven’t won a game since March 13 and will play their fifth straight road game. With Brogdon, Simons, Grant and others out, the Hornets should win this game at home. I’ll lay the bucket with the Hornets, but there’s probably better options out there.
