Why the Hornets can cover
Charlotte got off to a slow start this season, but it finally reached the 10-win mark earlier this week. The Hornets have won three of their last six games, including Thursday's 121-113 win against Oklahoma City. Star guard LaMelo Ball, who missed time early in the season, poured in 27 points and completed his double-double with 10 rebounds, narrowly missing out on a triple-double with nine assists.
Rookie center Mark Williams, who has spent most of the season in the G League, came off the bench to score 17 points and grab 13 rebounds in the win over the Thunder. Starting center Mason Plumlee had a solid game as well, scoring 14 points and grabbing nine rebounds. The big men combined to shoot 13 of 14 from the floor and will be difficult for Brooklyn to slow down in the paint.
Why the Nets can cover
Brooklyn comes into this game as the hottest team in the NBA, rattling off 10 consecutive wins that began with a 122-116 win against the Hornets on Dec. 7. Guard Kyrie Irving scored 33 points in that win, as he or Kevin Durant have led the team in scoring in all but one game this season. Durant has had success against Charlotte this year as well, scoring 27 points against the Hornets in a Nov. 5 win.
Charlotte has only won consecutive games once this season, and it had lost five consecutive home games prior to Thursday's win against Oklahoma City. Durant and Irving have been the best duo in the NBA this season, combining for 56.0 points per game. Brooklyn has covered the spread in six of its last eight games, and it has covered in five of its last six games at Charlotte.
