The Charlotte Hornets face off against the Phoenix Suns. Despite their struggles, the Hornets are predicted to cover the spread against the Suns.
The Hornets have extra rest after two games were postponed due to the California fires. This can help them keep tonight's clash with the Suns within than the 7.5-point spread. As the Phoenix Suns look to turn things around, they've strung together back-to-back wins and host the eight-win Charlotte Hornets tonight. Despite Charlotte's extensive struggles, our Hornets vs Suns predictions expect them to be able to play inside tonight's +7.5 spread.
But the Suns have won three of their last four since that change, and Beal has excelled in his new role, turning in nearly as many 25-point performances (two) as he had in the two months prior (three).That may be a strange blessing for the eight-win team, as the defensive masterclass the Hornets put on the Suns the last time they met may be fresh on their minds.So there is definite room for improvement for the Charlotte offense, but the same might not be the same for the Suns. Despite the Beal-related lineup change and the recent string of wins, they still managed just 112.5 points per game and the competition wasn't overly impressive by any means (Sixers, Hornets, Hawks, and Jazz). Gordon Hayward's recent performance has been concerning, as he shot abnormally poorly (2-for-7) and tied for his second-lowest usage (seven field-goal attempts) in his last eight games, so we should expect better volume and efficiency against a Suns defense that allows the third-most points to opposing centers. On the other side of the matchup, Booker should find success again (39 points last game) but with a slightly cleaner game, turnover-wise. He had three in the last clash and has been a bit sloppy as of late (has three or more in four of his last five), but the Hornets have been the second-worst team at forcing turnovers against opposing point guards.Take advantage of the early win payout at bet365, where any pre-game NBA moneyline bet getsDespite just eight wins, the Hornets are one of the league's best teams against the spread, as their 19-16-0 ATS record is good for the eighth-best.Comparatively, Phoenix is a league-worst 13-24 ATS and has gone 4-12 ATS as a home favorite.The Suns have only covered the Spread in 24 of their last 68 games (-23.30 Units / -31% ROI)
