Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Thunder are still missing Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins with Luguentz Dort listed as questionable, while the Hornets are still missing Grant Williams, Josh Green and Brandon Miller. The Thunder are the hottest team in the league right now. They have won the last four meetings against the Hornets, with three of those wins being blowouts, so it’s no surprise to see them as heavy favorites on the road. The Hornets have been struggling lately and now they have to take on their toughest test while playing on zero days. The line is hefty, but I am not standing in the way of the Thunder in their current form.
