Spurs vs Hornets: Can Charlotte stop the bleeding?
The San Antonio Spurs are visiting the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night at Spectrum Center.
The Spurs have lost the last three
The San Antonio Spurs are at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 7-33 record. They are only 4-17 on the road and have lost the last three games. San Antonio is coming off a 117-98 loss to the Boston Celtics. The Spurs have the fourth-most field goal attempts per game in the league but are only 27th in field goal percentage. Victor Wembanyama is the best player on the team, averaging 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks per game.
Charlotte has only one win in 2024
The Charlotte Hornets are 13th in the Eastern Conference with an 8-30 record. They have lost the last six games and are coming off a 132-112 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Hornets are 28th in the league, scoring 108.4 points per game, and are the team that scores the fewest points in the opening quarters in the league. Lamelo Ball leads Charlotte with 24.9 points and 7.8 assists per game.
Betting Trends
The Hornets have played under the total point line in 6 of their last 8 games overall, in 7 of the last 10 against teams from the Southwest Division, and in 11 of the last 14 games played on Friday. The Spurs have played under in 4 of their last 5 games overall.
Prediction and Conclusion
Both teams are having a disappointing season. The Spurs have one of the youngest rosters in the league, but still, they expected a better record with the #1 pick from the last NBA Draft, Victor Wembanyama. Both teams are still with a single-digit wins in the season, and this is a unique opportunity for them to a W. The fact is that both San Antonio and Charlotte are among the worst four teams in the league when it comes to field goal percentage. Both teams have played under the total point line in 80% of their last five games, and with the line being set at a high 237.5, there is no doubt that this one will stay under.
