Charlotte Hornets Betting Prediction

Here is the Hornets vs Wizards Betting prediction for Charlotte.

They are 13 games behind the Hawks for 10th place and are not in the running for a playoff spot. The Charlotte Hornets are in a tough spot. There is still a chance that they could win the lottery, but it is very unlikely. The draft spot for them is currently the fourth, but this year’s draft isn’t full of giants, and there isn’t a clear future star like Wemby was last year.

They need to keep adding to their team for the future, even though Lonzo Ball and Brandon Miller are nice pieces. Vasilije Micic scored 21 points in their last game, which was a win over Orlando.

LaMelo Ball scored the most points for them, but he has only played 22 games and is still out with an ankle injury. Miles Bridges is their best scorer right now; he scores 21.1 points per game and grabs 7.4 rebounds per game. He had one of the worst games of the year against Orlando, where he only made 3-16 shots and scored 7 points.

In his previous 10 games, he had scored 15 or more points every single one. The next player up is rookie Brandon Miller, who took over the starting group early in the season and scores 16.7 points per game on average.

Tre Mann moved from the Thunder to the Hornets at the trade deadline and has taken on a bigger role. He now starts at point guard and scores 11.6 points per game for the Hornets. Beginning inside, Nick Richards has been scoring 9.9 PPG and 7.9 PPG.

The last two games, Vasilije Micic started on the wing and scored 9.8 points per game. Grant Williams and Davis Bertans have been getting the most minutes off the bench lately. Currently, dunksandthrees.com ranks the Hornets as the 29th most efficient offense and the 27th most efficient defense. Their speed is the 20th fastest in the league.

Washington Wizards Betting Prediction

Now we have the Hornets vs Wizards Betting prediction for Washington.

Both the Wizards and the Pistons have only nine wins this season. The Wizards are in last place because they have one more loss. The team is trying to plan for the future, but they don’t have a lot of pieces to work with. Kyle Kuzma is 28 years old and at the height of his powers right now.

Jordan Poole’s play has been so bad that some people say he has the worst deal in league history. Since the Wizards didn’t get a clear-cut great in the draft, they will have to do some magic with their team going forward. Poole scored 26 points in their last game, which they lost to Orlando.

K. Kuzma scores 22.3 points per game for the Wizards. He also adds 6.5 points and 4.1 assists per game. He makes the most three-pointers per game (2.3), making 34.4% of his shots from deep. Kuzma has scored 20 points or more in six straight games. His high score was 32 points against the Clippers.

Poole has been on the bench for the last eight games, but he is still second in scoring with 16.7 PPG. Since coming off the bench, he’s scored 26 points or more in three of his last four games. Deni Avdija starts at forward and averages 13.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Tyus Jones starts at point guard and averages 12.2 points and 7.2 assists per game.

Marvin Bagley III is out with an injury, so they started Corey Kispert (12.2 PPG) and youngster Bilal Coulibaly (8.2 PPG) in their last game rather than the usual big men. Richaun Holmes scored 12 points against the Magic after coming off the bench. It’s 26th in the NBA for offensive efficiency and 30th for defense efficiency. The Wizards have the fastest pace in the NBA.

Best Bet for this Game

Overall, neither team has a great record, but the Wizards are better against the spread. In spite of having a terrible season, Washington is still 45.9% against the spread. Charlotte, on the other hand, is second-worst in the league with a coverage of 40.3%. Also, the Hornets have injuries. LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams, two players for the first day, will not play today.

To build for the future, Charlotte also moved away some good players, like Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward. The Wizards still have a lot of their top players. Kuzma is a reliable scorer, and Poole has scored a lot of points after coming off the bench, including 34 points against the Lakers.

They recently switched to a small ball team, which put Kispert at the top of the lineup and put shooters all around the court. This is the first time since January 20th against the Spurs that the Wizards are the favorite. When the Hornets are short-staffed, Washington will be able to take advantage and win at home.
