The Charlotte Hornets will be on the road to take on the San Antonio Spurs.
The tip-off is set for 8:30 ET from AT&T Center in San Antonio.
In every book that I have checked, the Spurs are a 3.5 point favorite. The total has gone from 228 to 227.
Charlotte Hornets
I am still not sure what to make out of this Hornets team. They have not been consistent enough for me to trust them.
They have lost three of their last four games. This team needs to be able to get back on track before they really start to slide.
For me, it is still surprising to see that this team is even relevant. Everybody was so used to them being a laughing stock for years.
Clearly, a big loss in their lineup has been Lamelo Ball. They will be looking to get him back in there sooner rather than later.
Charlotte dropped to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday by a score of 120-96. You cannot lose that game when Dallas did not even have their best player in the game.
With Ball being out, some other players are going to have to step up. So far, that really has not been the case. They have to have the mentality of the next man up.
San Antonio Spurs
Overall, the Spurs have really not had a good year. It is hard for some people to comprehend this team not being a title contender year after year.
This squad has a record of 10-16, which puts them in 12th place in the Western Conference. I really do not seem that rising that much.
When it comes to the top teams in the West, they just do not stack up. Sometimes it is as simple as not having enough talent to compete with other clubs out there.
San Antonio beat the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday by a score of 112-97. They did just what they had to do against a team they were better than. Things will likely not come that easy when they face this Hornets team.
Both Derrick White and Jakob Poeltl had 24 points on Sunday. Keldon Johnson also chipped in 17 points and 4 rebounds.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Hornets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
- The Hornets are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games against San Antonio.
- The Spurs are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games.
- The Spurs are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games this season.
Charlotte Hornets vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Analysis:
Even though the Spurs do not have a great record, they have been playing some good basketball as of late. They will look to keep that up when they face Charlotte on Wednesday.
The Hornets have to put forth a better effort than what they did against the Mavs on Monday. That kind of play was just unacceptable.
Going on the road with a shorthanded squad is never an easy task, but it would not surprise me if the Hornets figured it out.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Hornets ATS
I can see this being a pretty close game. One team is not so much better than the other in this case.
For me, the 3.5 is too high to lay with the Spurs. I know they have been good ATS lately, but I just do not trust them in this particular spot.
