Hornets vs Suns Prediction
I considered the Hornets and the points because they’re coming off a huge win over the Cavs, and they’re getting Grant Williams back from injury. The Suns have also underachieved up to this point, and I’m not thrilled to lay points with them. However, the Hornets are 30th in points per game and offensive field goal percentage. The Hornets are also 30th in defensive three-point percentage.
Even with a win over the Cavs, this has been a bad team up to this point. Also, the Suns are 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games as a favorite. We can say the Suns haven’t lived up to the bill, but they have taken care of business in spots like this. Also, maybe that win over the Cavs creates a letdown spot for the Hornets. I don’t love it, but I’m going to lay the points with the Suns at home on Thursday.
