Utah Jazz vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction 11/2/2025 Today’s NBA Picks

The Utah Jazz and the Charlotte Hornets duke it out at the Spectrum Center on Sunday night. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs Charlotte Hornets Pick.

Utah Jazz Betting Preview 

The Utah Jazz have been in a rut as they’ve dropped three of their past four games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting scorched by the Suns in a 118-96 road defeat on Friday. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 33 points on 10 of 20 shooting, while Keyonte George added 17 points with eight rebounds and nine assists but no other player scored more than eight points.

As a team, the Jazz shot just 37 percent from the field and 12 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a nightmare start and were always fighting a losing battle after getting outscored by 37-17 in the first quarter. Kyle Filipowski scored just two points on one of five shooting while Svi Mykhailiuk finished scoreless on zero of five shooting. 

Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been in poor form also as they’ve lost five of their last six games. They will be eager to snap a three-game slide after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 122-105 home defeat last night. Miles Bridges led the team with 30 points, eight rebounds and four assists, LaMelo Ball added 18 points with seven rebounds and eight assists while Tre Mann chipped in with 16 points and five assists off the bench.

As a team, the Hornets shot just 39 percent from the field and 13 of 45 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start and took the lead into halftime. Before all their hard work went to waste in the third quarter where they got outscored by 36-18 to trail by as many as 20 points. Kon Knueppel had another rough game as he finished with just five points on one of nine shooting.

• The Jazz have lost each of their last 21 road games following a loss.
• The favorites have won each of the Hornets’ last eight games at Spectrum Center.
• The favorites have covered the spread in seven of the Hornets’ last eight games at Spectrum Center.
• The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games against Eastern Conference opponents.

Why the Utah Jazz will win

• The Hornets have lost four of their last five games as favorites when playing with a rest disadvantage.
• The Jazz have won nine of their last 16 games as underdogs against Southeast Division opponents following a loss.
• The Hornets have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 10 night games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Jazz have covered the spread in 11 of their last 12 night games against Southeast Division opponents.

Utah Jazz vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

The Jazz are still missing Walker Kessler, Isaiah Collier and Georges Niang, while the Hornets have ruled out Josh Green, Grant Williams and Brandon Miller.  The Jazz come into this meeting as the team in better shape, but it is the Hornets who have won the last three meetings between these teams. The Hornets still open as slight favorites at home, but they are also playing the second game of a back to back set following last night’s loss to the Timberwolves. So, I am looking at the young Jazz to bounce back with a minor upset win on the road in this spot.
