BETTING TRENDS

Brooklyn are 10-0 SU in their last 10 games.

Brooklyn are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games against Charlotte.

Brooklyn are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games on the road.

Brooklyn are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Charlotte.

Charlotte are 3-11 SU in their last 14 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Charlotte's last 12 games against Brooklyn.

Charlotte are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Nets have been on fire lately as they're on a 10 game winning streak averaging 120.5 points per game on that strecht and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Charlotte. The Hornets have been awful this season and have won only 5 games at home so far. They already lost twice to the Nets and will be without Oubre Jr so I expect the Nets to dominate them again.
