Suns vs Hornets prediction
Suns vs Hornets best bet: Hornets -5.5 (-110)
The Charlotte Hornets have quietly won seven of their last 10, and this team is starting to click.
LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Kon Knueppel are all producing offensively at a high level, but what's really turned things around is this Hornets defense.
Charlotte is Top 6 in defensive net rating over the last 10 games, and they do one thing better than anyone right now, and that’s keeping teams off the free-throw line, which matters tonight as the Phoenix Suns love easy points at the stripe.
The Hornets have also defended the three well lately, ranking fourth in opponent 3-point shooting percentage over their last 10 games, another problem for a Suns team dependent on knocking down a ton of threes.
Phoenix is also banged up and thin up front —a bad combo vs. a Charlotte team that’s second in the league in defensive rebounding. No second-chance points mean no safety net.
On top of that, the Suns are coming off a physical road loss in Orlando. This shortened Phoenix roster looked fatigued against the Magic, and that’s not a good look against these Hornets.
Suns vs Hornets same-game parlay
The Hornets are 7-3 in their last 10 and now get a Suns team that’s going the other way, just 3-7 in their last 10, and it has not been good on the road.
Brandon Miller is right around 20 a night over his last five, and this is a matchup he can take advantage of.
They’ve gone Under the total in three of their last five previous meetings, and tonight’s clash should follow that trend.
