Prediction
Spurs 106, Hornets 99
Moneyline (ML)
The SPURS (-150) are the play on the road, assuming Aldridge is able to play. His healthy makes the difference whether you should bet a regular amount or simply go lightly. Either way, the Hornets (+125) and their struggling offense cannot be trusted, even on their home floor.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Spurs ML returns a profit of just $6.67 if they win.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Take the SPURS (-2.5, -115), as they’re a better value than simply taking them on the moneyline. You have to eat less chalk. Yes, the Hornets (+2.5, -106) have covered three in a row, but they’re 2-3 ATS in the past five at home.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 210.5 (-115) is the complete opposite of the recent trends for the Spurs. However, they’re banged up in the middle, and again, watch Aldridge’s status before finalizing your play. While the over is 7-2-1 in their past 10 overall, and 5-1-1 in the past seven on the road, the under is 6-1 in the past seven for San Antonio against losing teams.
The under is 7-1 in Charlotte’s past eight overall, and 7-1 in the past eight as ‘dog while going 19-9-1 in the past 29 versus San Antonio. The Hornets rank dead-last (30th) in the NBA in scoring average at 102.0 PPG and field-goal percentage (43.0), too.
