The Charlotte Hornets may look like a different team without LaMelo Ball in the mix, but they’ve still won five of their last eight games and have enough pieces in place to keep the team afloat. The Houston Rockets finally snapped their losing streak, but they’ve still lost 20 of their last 21 games and are 4-17 against the spread at home and 13-29 against the spread on the season. Until the Rockets can string a few wins together, they’re still on the automatic block list. I’ll lay the bucket with the Hornets.
