Suns at Hornets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Suns 108, Hornets 106
Money line (ML)
The Suns (-250) are a little expensive as a road team on the money line. This battle of first-place teams should be a little closer than the books think, too. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The HORNETS +6 (-110) are catching three buckets on their home court and that’s an awful lot of points. The Suns have won 30 games this season, and they have been playing great basketball. While they’re somewhat acclimated to the Eastern Time Zone after kicking off a road trip March 23 in Miami, this is a game which is 10 a.m. local time to them. Don’t think that won’t affect the Suns.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 219.5 (-110) looks good for the same reason Charlotte is an attractive play with the points. The early tip time in the Queen City will likely mean a rather sluggish start before the teams start to get their sea legs. The Under is 4-1 across the past five for the Suns, including 2-1 on the first three games of the road trip. The Under is 4-1 in the past five for the Hornets, and 7-2 across the past nine overall.
