Free Brooklyn Nets vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
Only one single game separates the Nets and Hornets at this point in the standings, but the Nets feel like the more complete team. They’re coming off a bad post-All-Star Game loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, but they’ve been one of the NBA’s feel-good stories this season that reads at this point more as a legitimate turnaround than an actual feel-good story with little merit.
