Hornets vs. Wizards picksPoint Spread Pick for Hornets vs. Wizards Charlotte Hornets to cover. (4 Units)
The Hornets have the edge here because they’ve been on a roll offensively on the road, scoring more than 117 points per game, while making over 46 percent of their shots. They’re also shooting the ball well at the charity stripe, making over 88 percent of their free throws in their last three games. They rebound the ball well and grabbed more than 16 offensive rebounds per game in their last three games, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games, so don’t expect them to give up many easy-scoring chances. The Wizards have one of the worst defenses in the league, and they’re giving up more than 122 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Hornets. Take Charlotte to cover the spread.
