Charlotte Hornets
Injuries continue to decimate a Charlotte team that didn’t intend to enter the year tanking. But having lost three of their last four and currently sitting as a bottom-three team out East, it’s difficult to picture the Hornets getting back to the play-in conversation—at least at this point.
On the year, Charlotte is scoring 109.3 points per contest, which puts the team in 26th as of this writing Tuesday night.
In terms of advanced stats, the Hornets score 104.6 points per 100 possessions. That number places them in dead last 30th.
Defensively, this groups allows 115.1 points per night, putting them in 20th so far this season.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, Charlotte gives up 110.2 points per 100 possessions—a number that ranks 19th on the year.
The Hornets list LaMelo Ball, Dennis Smith, Jr., Gordon Hayward, Cody Martin and Mark Williams as OUT.
Brooklyn Nets
The Nets currently sit in the No. 6 spot out East, but that’s more reflective of their early struggles than their recent success.
Brooklyn has won 7 of its last 10 SU, and it took No. 1 team out East, the Boston Celtics, to ruin their perfect streak on the current homestand.
On the season, Brooklyn scores 110.9 points per night—a number that ranks 20th.
Looking at the advanced stats, they’re scoring 111.1 points per 100 possessions—a number that puts them in 9th at this point in the 2022-23 season.

NBA Betting Trends:

- Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss.
Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
In addition to the trends above, the Nets are 4-1-2 ATS in seven straight following double-digit losses at home.
Maybe even more importantly, the Nets were rolling until the ran into the buzzsaw that is the Boston Celtics.
This Nets group has momentum despite its loss and is looking to otherwise keep things going in a successful homestand.
Brooklyn should get this one at home straight up, and even at -10, I like them ATS, too.
Nets get this one big.
