Free Charlotte Hornets vs. OKC Thunder NBA Prediction:
While defeating the Mavericks in both games points to how well the Hornets are playing it’s also partially tied to how the trade to add Kyrie Irving depleted much of Dallas’s defensive depth.
So this recent uptick in the Hornets’ play could be a bit of fool’s gold as prior to them winning three of four they’d lost four games in a row.
Much will depend on whether SGA plays and even then, the Thunder are strong at home. I like OKC to win but not by nine so I’ll take the points.
