The Charlotte Hornets and the Brooklyn Nets collide at the Barclays Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Charlotte Hornets vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Charlotte Hornets vs. Brooklyn Nets Pick.
Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview
The Charlotte Hornets have been in great shape as they’ve won seven of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting routed by the Celtics in a 114-99 loss on Sunday. LaMelo Ball led the team with 19 points, and Miles Bridges added 14 points while Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel each scored 13 points.
As a team, the Hornets shot 43 percent from the field and 12 of 43 from the 3-point line as they struggled against the defense of the Celtics right from the tipoff and fell behind by 14 points at halftime, which was a shame because the Hornets played much better in the second half but just had too much work to do.
Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in terrible shape as they’ve lost 20 of their last 23 games overall, but they will be feeling a little better after they snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 116-99 home win over the Kings on Sunday. Ochai Agbaji led the team with 18 points off the bench; Nolan Traore added 17 points with six assists; Drake Powell added 16 points, while Noah Clowney chipped in with 15 points.
As a team, the Nets shot 49 percent from the field and 17 of 41 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 68 points in the first half to open up a 27-point lead, which was more than enough to allow them to cruise to a long overdue victory at home.

Charlotte Hornets vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Hornets are still playing without Tidjane Salaun, while the Nets have ruled out Danny Wolf, Terance Mann, Michael Porter Jr., and Egor Demin. The Nets took down the Hornets by 116-103 back on Dec 1 to square up the series at 1-1, but a lot has changed since the last meeting. The Hornets have emerged as one of the hottest teams this year, while the Nets were absolutely ice-cold before their rare win over the Kings on Sunday.
The Hornets were on fire before dropping their last two games but I fully expect them to bounce back with a comfortable win and cover over this slumping Nets team, who are still missing a bunch of players.
