Charlotte needs to cut down on turnovers
The Charlotte Hornets are looking to snap a ten season playoff drought and have not won a playoff series since 2002. The Hornets (3-5) are looking to snap a four-game losing streak and are sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. On Monday, Charlotte was outscored by 22 points during the second half of a 124-91 home loss versus Detroit.
Brandon Miller led Charlotte with 17 points on an inefficient 7-for-18 shooting effort and dropped four dimes. Naz Reid scored 13 points (2-6 3PT) and pulled down six boards. Sion James and Grayson Allen added 11 points each on a combined 7-for-14 from the floor for the Hornets
Charlotte ranks near the bottom of the league in turnover rate and is the only team in the NBA that is not averaging more than 100 points. During Monday’s loss, the Hornets committed an alarming 27 turnovers that led to 37 Detroit points. Charlotte missed 31 of 44 three-point attempts and shot an ice cold 38 percent from the field.

Brooklyn no tanking incentive
The Brooklyn Nets have been in rebuilding mode the last few seasons and are in the unenviable position of not owning the swap rights for their 2027 first round pick. The Nets (1-6) are winless in their first three home games and are tied for the worst overall record in the Eastern Conference. On Monday, Brooklyn was outscored by 17 points over the final 12 minutes of a 103-90 road loss against crosstown rival New York.
Julius Randle led four Brooklyn players in double figures with 21 points (5-16 FG) and 11 rebounds. Brooklyn F Michael Porter Jr. scored 18 points on 6-for-13 shooting and pulled down five boards. Nolan Traore added 17 points and four assists for the Nets, who have lost 15 straight meetings against the Knicks.
Brooklyn ranks second worst in the league in offensive efficiency and is averaging 105.6 points per contest. During Monday’s loss, the Nets missed 25 of 38 three-point attempts and shot just 38 percent overall. Brooklyn managed just 11 points in the fourth quarter and committed 16 turnovers.
Charlotte Hornets vs Brooklyn Nets Picks and Prediction
Pick: Brooklyn Nets +3.5
Charlotte guards Coby White (calf) and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) are listed as probable for this game. The Hornets took two out of three against the Nets a season ago and defeated them by a 110-103 final score on October 21st. Charlotte is 3-5 ATS and not covering their games by an average of close to ten points. Take Brooklyn to win as a small home underdog.
Pick: Over 212.5
Charlotte is playing at the third slowest tempo and Brooklyn ranks in the middle of the pack in that category. The Hornets are giving up 108.6 points per game and the Nets are allowing almost six points more. Both teams are coming off subpar offensive efforts and I would expect them to come out fast. Take the over.
Final Score Prediction: Brooklyn Nets win 112-107
