1.88Tip and bets
Charlotte recently defeated Orlando on the road, showing aggressive attack, depth of the squad and confident play of Ball and Miller, while Washington lost to Denver at home, extending the losing streak and demonstrating a low percentage of shots. Historically, the Hornets have a slight advantage in head-to-head meetings, but now they look noticeably more stable than the troubled Wizards with a long list of injured leaders. Charlotte's victory is the best bet, as the form, psychology and personnel situation are clearly on their side.
Our prediction is that Charlotte will win with a handicap of (-7.5) points in 1.74
