Wizards vs Hornets Prediction 10/30/26 NBA Picks Today

Wizards vs Hornets Prediction

The Wizards have yet to get going, but I’m still going to bet on them here. They’re at home and will have the two best players on the court. The Hornets are still without White, Williams, and Knueppel, three key rotation players. They’re also dealing with some Naz Reid drama, as he was benched for the second half against the Pistons despite playing well. There’s weirdness going on in Charlotte right now.

The Wizards also got Dybantsa back, which should make them even better. He looked fantastic in his debut, scoring 19 points on 66.7 percent shooting. At home and a soft number. Give me the Wizards.
