Point Spread: -4.50 | -108.00 Hornets (CHA) (Away)
Result: Loss
Once a season it might be permissible to lay points with the Hornets on the road. That time is now.
The desperate Hornets, fresh off a players-only meeting, are playing the Wizards.
Washington has the worst record in the NBA at 4-23. The Wizards are 2-21 in their last 23 games. Each of their last 15 defeats have been by double-digits.
Making it so tough for the Wizards is they have multiple injuries. Kevin Kuzman, their second-leading scorer, is out. So is big man Marvin Bagley III. Several rotation players are questionable, including their fourth and sixth-leading scorers.
I get that Charlotte is no prize being 7-22. But the Hornets are the healthier team and have revenge for a 123-114 road loss to the Wizards last Thursday. Charlotte shot just 41 percent from the floor and 19 percent from 3-point range in that game. Washington, by contrast, made 49 percent of its field goal attempts and hit 40 percent of its 3-pointers.
