Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular Season Record: 25-51
The Charlotte Hornets have gone through a lot this season due to the constant physical problems of their main young star, LaMelo Ball (he will not be available for the rest of the campaign), and are currently in second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference, where they are only ahead of the Detroit Pistons, who have the worst record in the NBA.
It is almost impossible to frame the Hornets’ disappointing campaign in just one aspect, given that they are fourth worst in the league offensively with 111.2 points scored per game and a 45.5% shooting percentage from the field. Besides, they have also been very lax on defense, as they have 117.3 points against per game.
Their inability to get strong at home has also been a big problem for Charlotte, who come into this game with just one more win at home than away (13 and 12, respectively).
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 36-38
The Oklahoma City Thunder currently occupies the last playoff spot, but being tied with the Dallas Mavericks (11th) and only 1.0 game behind the 12th-place team, they know they can’t afford to slip any further if they want to seal their name in the playoffs, even more so considering they are also only 1.0 game behind the seventh-place team.
With that in mind, they will surely be glad to be back home after a tough four-game road trip, given that they have an excellent record of 22 wins and 15 home wins so far this season, and have managed to win in its last five home matches.
The most recent of those wins came against a strong Phoenix Suns team, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scoring 40 points to lead a 120-124 win despite Devin Booker’s 46 points for the visitors.
JefeBet Prediction
Although they are not at their best, being at home is always comforting for the Thunder, who also have one of the best offenses in the league, averaging 117.4 points scored per game and should have no difficulty in making a weak defense suffer.
Also, while they tend to have some issues on their side of the court, facing an inconsistent offense like the Hornets will give the Thunder a great opportunity to perform well in that area. Therefore, we expect Oklahoma to deliver an outstanding performance in this Hornets vs Thunder game and come away with a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder Spread (CHA 112-126).
