Nets vs Hornets Prediction

The Hornets are coming off a couple of nice wins, and they’re the better team on paper here. The Hornets already beat the Nets this season by 19 points. However, I’m not excited to lay points with the Hornets, especially on the road. In fact, this will be just the ninth time since 2023 where the Hornets are road favorites. The Hornets are 3-5 ATS in those previous games. If the Nets are going to win a home game this season, you’d think this would be possibly their best shot. Awful game but if forced to pick I want the points.
