Charlotte Hornets vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction

Laying chalk with the Spurs doesn’t feel right given the struggles these last couple of weeks and the fact they’re now down Wembanyama and Fox. The Spurs have raised the white flag on the season. With that said, the Hornets aren’t any better, losing games by 30-plus some nights and having just six road wins on the season. Both teams suck, but there are levels to suck, and it doesn’t get much worse than the Hornets. The Spurs still have enough talent to win this game and they’re at home where 16 of their 27 wins have come. I’ll lay the points with the Spurs.
