After being blown out in the fourth quarter of Monday’s game in Utah, the Hornets (14-16) make a stop in Phoenix (20-10) next, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
Charlotte largely outplayed the Jazz through the opening three quarters but the 3-point onslaught from Utah eventually pushed them past the visitors in the second half. The good news for the Hornets is that Phoenix is not as 3-point reliant, ranking 10th in frequency and ninth in accuracy.
The bad news is the duo of Chris Paul and Devin Booker are one of the most formidable backcourts in not just the Western Conference but the league. After facing an All-Defensive center in Rudy Gobert on Monday, the Hornets will have an entirely new challenge on Wednesday.
The lines, courtesy of BetMGM
- Point spread: Hornets +9.5
- Moneyline: Hornets +333 / Suns -450
- Over-under: 228.5

Advice and prediction
The Hornets are going to be heavily tested on this West Coast road trip and Wednesday will be no different. Phoenix is a tough match-up for any team and especially a Hornets team down one of its top starters in the backcourt.
There were some positives from the first three quarters of Monday’s game against Utah but ultimately the Jazz did cover. It wouldn’t be surprising to see a similar game play out on Wednesday. Take Phoenix +9.5.
Prediction: Suns 115, Hornets 101
