Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets were one of the surprise teams last season, finishing tenth in the Eastern Conference with a 43-39 record. They were eliminated in the playoffs, though, and now, with a core of relatively young players, they will want to continue improving in order to advance further in the postseason.
However, there is some concern about the way the team played in the preseason, as they lost all five games they played, and allowed an average of 166.6 points per game in that span.
Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
In contrast, the San Antonio Spurs appear to be in for a difficult season. They qualified for the play-in last season solely because there were no good enough teams in the Western Conference, and their 34-48 record did not bode well in those instances. Nobody was surprised, then, when they were eliminated in the first round by the New Orleans Pelicans.
With a roster full of young players and lacking in stars after Dejounte Murray’s departure to Atlanta,the Spurs will have to work hard to improve their 2021-22 record. The fact that they lost four of their five postseason games clearly demonstrates this.
JefeBet Prediction
From what we saw in the preseason, neither team looks ready to start the regular NBA season, although they will be looking to give their best in this fairly evenly matched clash.
The Hornets faced the Spurs twice in 2021/22, and both times they won. Moreover, they scored more than 120 points in both games, so we anticipate a similar outcome on Wednesday night.
Charlotte’s defense didn’t look so good in the preseason, and while San Antonio failed to surpass 100 points in its first three preseason games, having surpassed the 110-point mark in its last two games against Utah and Oklahoma City will make them believe they can represent a threat to their opponents.
Prediction: Over (CHA 118 – SAS 112)
