Season series: 76ers lead 3-0; Philadelphia is 2-1 against the spread (ATS), with the road team going 3-0 ATS while the Over is 2-1

The Hornets lost 123-114 at the Washington Wizards on Thursday as a 4-point favorite as the Over (226) cashed. Charlotte has dropped 3 in a row, and 11 of the past 12 outright. The Hornets are 1-6 ATS in the past 7 games, while the Over is 5-2 in the span. That includes a 121-108 loss to the 76ers as 2.5-point underdogs Monday in Charlotte as the Over (218.5) cashed.

The win over Charlotte was the last game for Philly. The 76ers are on a roll against the number, going 6-1 ATS in the past 7 games since Nov. 30, while the Under is on a 3-1-1 run. The only Over result is against the Hornets.

Hornets at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 115, Hornets 107

Moneyline

The 76ers (-450) will cost you 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive for a standalone bet or for a team as part of a multi-leg wager.

PASS.

Against the spread

PLAY HORNETS +10.5 (-115) in the second end of a back-to-back. Charlotte won its most recent game playing on no rest at Indiana Dec. 8, posting a 113-109 victory as an 11.5-point underdog. The Hornets are 3-1 ATS in the past 4 games on no rest, too.

It’s risky, as the 76ers -10.5 (-105) are 6-1 ATS in the past 7 games, but it is 1-5 ATS as a favorite of 4 or more points. Of course, that lone cover was Dec. 3 in Charlotte as a 5-point favorite, so be careful.

Over/Under

OVER 217.5 (-115) is worth playing lightly, but go with no more than a half-unit play.

The Over cashed in the most recent meeting in Charlotte Monday in a 121-108 win as the Over (218.5) cashed. However, be careful, as the Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 outings. The Over has also hit in the 2 meetings with the Hornets since Dec. 3.

For Charlotte, the total has cashed high in 5 of the past 7 games since Dec. 3.

Charlotte Hornets at Washington Wizards odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Charlotte Hornets at Washington Wizards odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Washington Wizards (3-21) welcome the Charlotte Hornets (7-19) to Capital One Arena Thursday. Tip is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Hornets vs. Wizards odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting, tied 2-2 last season

The Wizards lost to the Boston Celtics 112-98 Sunday, closing as a 17-point home underdog. G Jordan Poole scored a team-high 21 points. Washington has lost 3 straight and is just 1-19 after its 2-2 start to the season. It is, however, 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 4 games and 8-15-1 ATS on the season.

The Hornets lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 121-108 Monday evening, closing as a 2.5-point home underdog. They were led by F Miles Bridges, who scored 24 points. Charlotte has lost 2 in a row and 10 of its last 11 games. It is 5-6 ATS in those and 14-12 ATS on the season.

Hornets at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Hornets 116, Wizards 113

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hornets are the better team, but Washington is at home. Considering the odds here, one should avoid a play and look to the spread for value.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS +3.5 (-110).

The Wizards haven’t won often this season, but they have been able to cover over the last few weeks. They are 2-1 ATS at home in their last 3 contests at Capital One and have scored at least 112 points in 2 of their last 4 games.

Charlotte has played 3 of its last 5 games on the road and is 1-2 ATS in those and 1-5 ATS in its last 6 outings. The Hornets have scored 104 or fewer points in 8 of their last 10 games, so they haven’t been able to keep pace due to their poor shooting.

Expect Washington to keep things close and back WIZARDS +3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 223.5 (-115).

While both offenses have consistently struggled this season, neither defense is good, and the home side likes to play at a torrid pace. Both teams sit in the bottom 12 in the league in defensive rating.

Washington ranks fourth in the NBA in pace and is 3-3-1 O/U in its last 7 games, allowing at least 112 points in every game since Nov. 24 (10 contests). The Hornets have allowed at least 109 points in 6 straight games and are 4-2 O/U in their last 6.

Back OVER 223.5 (-115).

76ers at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 106, Hornets 105

Moneyline

PASS.

While Charlotte (+110) may be enticing, 3 of its last 12 games have ended within 2 points, so the spread is the preferred route here.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +2.5 (-115).

The Hornets haven’t rewarded bettors frequently as of late, but they have performed well all season long at home. They are 8-6 ATS at Spectrum Center, while the 76ers are 5-6 ATS on the road. Charlotte is 3-2 ATS in its last 5 at home.

The 76ers have covered well as of late, but they haven’t performed well as favorites. Philadelphia is 4-6 ATS as a favorite this season. Considering those trends, back HORNETS +2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 213.5 (-115).

The 76ers have scored 108 or fewer points in 4 straight games and are 1-4-1 O/U in their last 6. To add to that, Philadelphia has allowed 106 or fewer points in 5 of its last 6 games.

The Hornets have gone Under in 2 straight games and 6 of their last 9. Charlotte has scored 104 or fewer points in 8 of its last 9 games. Play UNDER 213.5 (-115).

Hornets at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 115, Hornets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There is minimal value on the Bulls (-250) to win on Friday.

Against the spread

LEAN BULLS -6.5 (-105).

While the Bulls have struggled recently, dropping 4 of their last 6 games, they have coverd the spread in 3 of their last 5 outings and face a Charlotte team dealing with a few key injuries.

Charlotte is still without LaMelo Ballwho is averaging 31 points per game; his absense has been a key factor in the Hornets’ struggles. The Hornets have failed to cover in 3 of their last 4 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 231.5 (-110).

Charlotte has been held to 104 or fewer points in 7 of its last 8 games while it has allowed just 110 or fewer points in 6 of its last 8 contests. It has hit the Under in 5 of its last 8 games.

Chicago has hit the Under in 2 of its last 4 games while allowing 108 or fewer points in 2 of its last 4 games.

Hornets at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 118, Hornets 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pacers are rightfully a heavy favorite, but they are far too expensive to play here. At the same time, the Hornets have lost 8 in a row and likely won’t snap their losing streak on the road Sunday.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +11.5 (-115).

Charlotte is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 road games, and its defense has taken a massive leap forward over the last few weeks, holding 5 of its last 7 opponents to 110 points or fewer. In the Hornets’ last 6 games, 4 of them have been single-digit losses.

The Pacers, while they still have playoff expectations, have let bettors down this season and are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. Indiana’s defense has been atrocious, allowing at least 122 points in 4 of its last 5 games. It has failed to cover 3 in a row at home.

Back HORNETS +11.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 223,5 (-115).

The Pacers have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games, and as noted above, they have struggled defensively, allowing at least 130 points twice in their last 5 outings. Indiana is 16-8 O/U on the season.

The Hornets have gone Over in 3 straight games, allowing at least 110 points in all 3. They are 8-4 O/U in their last 12 as well. Considering those trends, back OVER 223.5 (-115).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cleveland Cavaliers (20-3) and the Charlotte Hornets (6-16) meet Saturday at Spectrum Center in Charlotte. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Cavaliers vs. Hornets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Cavaliers lead 1-0; Cleveland won 128-114 as a 10-point home favorite Nov. 17 while the Over (226.5) hit

The Cavaliers suffered a stunning pair of losses in a home-and-home with the Atlanta Hawks Nov. 27-29, including an NBA Cup game. They have recovered with 3 straight wins and covers, including against the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games.

The Hornets enter on a 7-game skid, with Charlotte’s last win coming on Nov. 21 at home in overtime against the Detroit Pistons. While Charlotte hasn’t won a lot lately, it is a respectable 6-3 against the spread (ATS) in the past 9 games. As a double-digit underdog, the Hornets are 2-4 ATS this season, including the first meeting with the Cavs in mid-November.

Cavaliers at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 123, Hornets 99

Moneyline

The Cavaliers (-750) are actually not favored by as much as you might imagine for this road game. However, Cleveland is in relatively decent shape, in terms of health, while the Hornets (+525) are in awful shape.

Still, you can’t risk 7 times your potential return. That’s way too much for a standalone bet, or even as part of a multi-leg play.

PASS.

Against the spread

Play CAVALIERS -13.5 (-105) in this trip down south to Charlotte.

The Hornets +13.5 (-115) have actually been a thorn in the side of the Cavs in recent seasons, surprisingly winning 3 of the past 5 meetings outright. However, Cleveland pounded Charlotte by 14 points in the first meeting this season, and the Cavs just look different this year.

Plus, the Hornets are banged up, and missing 3 of their top 4 scorers for this game, and potentially 4 of the top 5 if Richards cannot shake off his ankle ailment to play.

Over/Under

OVER 217.5 (-115) is the lean, although it is hard to figure where Charlotte will get its scoring with so many players on the shelf.

Still, the Cavaliers sport the No. 1 offense in the NBA with 122.0 PPG, and it is also No. 1 in the league with a 50.9% field-goal percentage, and 40.5% from behind the 3-point line. It should be able to hammer the shorthanded Hornets as long as nobody is given an unexpected rest.

The Hornets lost 125-101 last time out at New York, and you can expect a similar lopsided game in this one.

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Knicks (-1100) to win on Thursday at home against a struggling Hornets (+675) team.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +14.5 (-115).

While Charlotte has struggled in its last 10 games going 2-8, it is 7-3 ATS in that span. It has covered in 3 of its last 4 games and in back-to-back road games.

New York has hit the Over in 6 of its last 10 games including 3 of its last 5. It will carry the load on Thursday. The Knicks have scored 114 or more points in 8 of their last 10 and 118 or more points in 3 of their last 5. They have allowed 106-plus points in 3 of their last 5.

While Charlotte has struggled recently, going 2-8 in its last 10 games, it has covered the spread in 6 of its last 7 overall and 5 of its last 6 at home. It faces a Philly team that has struggled to meet expectations this season and will once again be without Embiid.

The Sixers have failed to cover the spread in 7 of their last 10 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 211.5 (-110).

Both the Hornets and Sixers are without some of their top scorers in Ball and Embiid. The Hornets have scored 104 or fewer points in 4 straight games and allowed 99 or fewer in 3 of their last 4.

The 76ers have allowed 98 or fewer points in 2 of their last 4 games.

Hawks at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 119, Hornets 118

Moneyline

PASS.

Considering the way this game is predicted to go, the spread is the better option. Take the home side’s spread here.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +4.5 (-110).

The Hornets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games and have had 5 of their last 8 games end within a 4-point margin. Charlotte is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 and 7-1 ATS in its last 8 at home.

The Hawks have struggled to find much consistency this season and are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 road games. Young leads the team in scoring but is shooting just 39% from the field.

Considering those trends, back HORNETS +4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 225.5 (-115).

The Hawks play at the second-fastest pace in the NBA and have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games. They are 14-6 O/U on the season, scoring at least 117 in 4 in a row.

The Hornets are 5-3 O/U in their last 8 games and have allowed at least 114 in 6 of their last 9. Charlotte has scored at least 114 in 5 of its last 8. It has the firepower offensively to keep pace, but also has a struggling defense which Young could abuse.

Take OVER 225.5 (-115).

New York Knicks at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Knicks at Charlotte Hornets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New York Knicks (10-8) travel to face the Charlotte Hornets (6-12) on Friday. Tip-off from Spectrum Center is set for noon ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Knicks vs. Hornets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; New York won 4-0 last season

New York lost 129-114 to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday while failing to cover as a 4-point favorite. The Knicks had 3 starters score at least 20 points, led by G Jalen Brunson‘s 37, but New York’s defense allowed the Mavs to shoot 56.5% from the field and 51.5% from deep.

Charlotte lost 98-94 to the Miami Heat Wednesday while covering as a 4.5-point underdog. G LaMelo Ball scored 32 points, but he had very little help as the Hornets only had 2 other players score in double figures. The Hornets have lost 3 straight games.

Ball has been one of just a few bright spots for the Hornets to start the season, but he joined Charlotte’s extensive injury list with a calf injury.

Knicks at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 123, Hornets 107

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks will pick up the win here and cover as -650 favorites, especially with Ball being out for Charlotte. However, the Knicks are favored far too heavily for the risk to be worth the reward here, so pass and bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN KNICKS -11.5 (-115).

New York has covered the spread in 4 straight games against the Hornets. The Knicks are also 4-0 ATS in their last 4 wins against the Hornets in Charlotte.

With Ball out and how well New York’s offense is performing, the Hornets will pose no threat to the Knicks in this matchup.

This is a lean because Charlotte is 11-7 ATS this season while New York is only 8-9-1 ATS.

Over/Under

BET OVER 221.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the Knicks and is 7-3 in New York’s last 10 games. For Charlotte, the Over is 5-2 in its last 7 games. The Over has also hit in 4 of New York’s last 7 wins against the Hornets.
