Nets vs Hornets Injury Report
The Nets will be without Maxwell Lewis, Bojan Bogdanovic, Cam Thomas, Noah Clowney, and Cameron Johnson. D’Angelo Russell is questionable with an illness.
The Charlotte Hornets will be without Brandon Miller due to a wrist injury. Nick Smith Jr., LaMelo Ball, and Josh Green are questionable after not playing yesterday.
Nets vs Hornets Prediction
The Brooklyn Nets I guess should be favored because they’re at home and the Hornets are on the end of a back-to-back and could be without Miller and Ball. But who cares? The bottom line is the Nets and Hornets are awful basketball teams, have endless injuries, and at this point probably are more focused on a high draft pick than winning games. I’m not excited to lay chalk with either the Hornets or Nets. Also, the underdog is 6-3-1 ATS in the last 10 games between the Hornets and Nets. The underdog has covered each of the last four games. There are better games out there, but if forced to pick, give me the Hornets and the points.
