Hornets vs. Trail Blazers odds, line, spread: Proven model reveals NBA picks, predictions for Oct 31, 2021

The Charlotte Hornets (4-2) have established themselves as one of the exciting up-and-coming teams in the Eastern Conference, but face a tough test at home against the Portland Trail Blazers (3-2) at 7 p.m. ET. Portland comes in after dominating back-to-back wins against the Memphis Grizzles and Los Angeles Clippers, and Charlotte has dropped two of its last three games.
