The Brooklyn Nets and the Charlotte Hornets collide at the Spectrum Center on Saturday night. Here’s a Brooklyn Nets vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction. This article will include a Brooklyn Nets vs Charlotte Hornets Pick.
Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
The Brooklyn Nets have been in terrible shape as they’ve lost seven of their last eight games overall. They will be hoping to arrest a six-game slide after getting beaten by the Warriors in a heartbreaking 121-119 home defeat on Thursday. Cameron Johnson led the team with 26 points, six rebounds, and four assists, Cam Thomas added 23 points with seven assists while Tyrese Martin chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Nets shot 50 percent from the field and 15 of 33 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates to an early 22-point lead, but they couldn’t hold off the Warriors who went on a pivotal 20-7 run late in the fourth quarter to pull away in a disappointing finish.
Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been in a slump of their own as they’ve lost 18 of their last 20 games overall. They will be hoping to arrest a nine-game losing streak after falling painfully short to the Cavaliers in a 118-117 home defeat last night. Miles Bridges came ready to play as he led the team with 46 points on 15 of 32 shooting, LaMelo Ball added 13 points with seven assists while Jusuf Nurkic chipped in with 12 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists. As a team, the Hornets shot 47 percent from the field and 13 of 37 from the 3-point line as they rallied back from a 13-point deficit to take a nine-point lead midway through the fourth quarter before they got outscored by 23-13 in the final 5:18 to allow the Cavaliers to snatch the game away at the end. The Hornets will meet the Heat after this game.

Brooklyn Nets vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Nets are still shorthanded with Cameron Johnson still out, while the Hornets are expecting to have the same squad from last night. The Nets open as the slight favorites on the road as the Hornets are playing their second game of a back-to-back set. However, the Nets have been in such poor form themselves that you can’t trust them to take advantage. The Hornets would’ve taken so much confidence from the fact that they were right there with the Cavaliers last night and I think they can go one better in this one. Give me the Hornets to pull off the minor upset in this one behind another big game from Bridges.
