Phoenix Suns vs Charlotte Hornets: BETTING TIPS, PREDICTION & BETTING ODDS

Less than 24 hours after getting beaten badly by the Boston Celtics, the Phoenix Suns are back in action taking on the Charlotte Hornets. A total of 4 players scored 20+ points in the 127-112 loss at Boston last night, but a poor effort from three-point land (35.5%) cost the Suns the game. Jusuf Nurkic once again excelled getting 20 rebounds, the Suns won the rebounding battle 51-33, but even that wasn’t enough. They’ll have a much easier task in tonight’s game though as they take on a team they’ve beaten in the last 6 meetings. Phoenix is also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 against Charlotte, with the Dallas Mavericks being just half a game behind them in the standings, they cannot afford to lose to a team like this.

Charlotte got blown out 133-119 in the first meeting of the season played in late December. Since then a lot has happened, the current iteration of this team isn’t very close to the one that lost by 14 in that game. Terry Rozier, who had 42 points in that game, is gone. P.J. Washington has also been traded away to Dallas, the Hornets cannot wait for the season to be over as they’re currently stuck in 13th place in the Eastern Conference. They are showing signs of life winning 2 of their last 3 games over Memphis and Brooklyn, but that’s mainly due to those teams struggling right now. Phoenix is a much more serious opponent, the Hornets have just 1 victory against Pacific Division teams in their last 10 outings.

Phoenix Suns Point Spread Prediction

Suns -9.5 Point Spread is available at -110 odds

I have to go with the Suns here, even though they’re playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back here. They’re 7-4 SU in this scenario this season, plus all 3 of their best players are healthy and playing well. Look out for Nurkic to grab a ton of rebounds once again down low and the Suns to cover as double-digit favorites.

Phoenix Suns vs Charlotte Hornets Total Points Prediction

Over 217.5 Total Points is available at -110 odds

A whopping 252 points were scored by the two teams in the first meeting of the season, the Hornets knocked down 23 threes in that game and still lost by double-digits. That just shows how bad they were performing on the defensive end during that time of the season. We’ve seen improvements by them on that end lately with 2 of their last 3 opponents failing to crack the 100 point mark, but it’s too little too late for efforts like that. Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker have to respond in a big way here following last night’s loss at Boston. The Suns own the NBA’s 9th best offensive rating, averaging 117 points per 100 possessions. The over has cashed in 13 of the last 18 meetings between the two teams, the 10 most recent ones are averaging 224.6 points per game. I’m looking at the Suns to carry us over the total here, they should be able to score enough points against only the 26th best defense in the NBA. Charlotte is allowing 118.6 points per 100 possessions this season, I’m backing the over in this one.
