T.M. Selection: Charlotte Hornets

I like the Charlotte Hornets to win this game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. There isn't much to say, as this is the first game of the season for both of these two teams, but the Hornets should be the much better side this season. Lamelo Ball will miss this game, but that doesn't mean that Charlotte isn't good. Terry Rozier will lead the backcourt with Kelly Oubre and PJ Washington as big threats offensively. The Spurs are in rebuild mode as they've only got a few veterans this season. Keldon Johnson should be their best player, but he doesn't have much around him, which will make it tough. Give me the Hornets, in a game that they should really try and win, as they've got a tough stretch on their schedule ahead of them.

T.M. Prediction: 122-113 Hornets.
