The Line: Betting Odds: Brooklyn Nets -3.5 — Over/Under: 223.5
Charlotte HornetsÂ
The Charlotte Hornets have cooled off a bit recently as they’ve lost three of their past four games and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting smashed by the Cavaliers in a 128-114 road defeat on Sunday. LaMelo Ball led the team with 31 points and 12 rebounds, Miles Bridges added 19 points with eight rebounds and eight assists while Grant Williams, Josh Green, and Brandon Miller each scored 15 points. As a team, the Hornets shot just 40 percent from the field and 20 of 52 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 40 points in the third quarter to cut a 13-point halftime deficit to just three points, but they went cold when it mattered most, scoring just 15 points in the fourth quarter to allow the Cavaliers off the hook in the end.Â
Brooklyn NetsÂ
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in a slump as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall and they will be hoping to snap a three-game slide after getting beaten by the Knicks in a 114-104 road defeat on Sunday. Cameron Johnson led the team with 22 points, five rebounds, and five assists, Cam Thomas and Dorian Finney-Smith each scored 16 points while Jalen Wilson chipped in with 15 points off the bench. As a team, the Nets shot just 42 percent from the field and 17 of 41 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Knicks in a tightly contested first half, but it all went downhill in the third quarter where they allowed 35 points to fall behind by as many as 15 points. Dennis Schroder has been the best player for the Nets this season, but he had a rough night of just eight points on two of 11 shooting in this game.Â

Charlotte Hornets vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Hornets are still a little shorthanded with Tre Mann still out, while the Nets are still without Bojan Bogdanovic and Nic Claxton. The Hornets have shown signs of improvement in recent games, they are relatively healthy and I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled off the upset on the road against this slumping Nets team who have gone cold. This is a game I’d rather stay away from as you can’t trust either side with any confidence these days, but if I had to choose I would lean towards the Hornets with the points in this spot.
