Nets vs Hornets Prediction

The Hornets should be able to win this game comfortably and we’ve been on this team a lot. However, the Hornets are coming off two straight losses, both at home as favorites, and it’s important to remember this is still a young team learning how to deal with expectations. As bad as the Nets are, they have covered 7 of their last 10 games. This is also just the fourth time in franchise history where the Hornets are favorites of 15 or more points. These NBA lines are inflated across the league. Be careful out there, folks. Give me the points with the Nets.
