Spurs vs Hornets Prediction
The Hornets don’t have any player listed on the injury report, while the Spurs are still missing Victor Wembenyama, Charles Bassey ,and now De’Aaron Fox, who is gone for the season. You really couldn’t back either team with any confidence these days, especially with so little to play for at this stage of the season. With that being said, the Spurs have been the marginally better team over the past few weeks, but they are really low on firepower with Fox now out for the season. So, I think this is a good spot for the Hornets to pull off the minor upset on the road if Bridges and Ball can have big games.
