The Hornets have dropped 11 of 15, and their only win in the last five games was a controversial 1-point decision over Washington. Look for another big game from Jabari Parker as the Wizards return the favor -- and cover.
On Friday night, the Hornets and Wizards will meet for the second time in seven days. Oddsmakers did not adjust the total, with a nearly identical number of 233. Look for a sharper first half offensively and for the number to push Over this time around.
I like to seek out the Wizards when they are at home since they have a 21-12 record there ATS. Even though they’ve lost both of their last two games against the Hornets, those games were in Charlotte. The Hornets are an abysmal 9-23 on the road, including 13-19 ATS. Cody Zeller (knee) is considered doubtful and his absence would be a huge loss for their frontcourt. I’ll ride with the Wizards to cover.
My numbers see the Wizards topping the Hornets by at least eight points Friday, providing a value spot on the slight home chalk. I've got the Wizards covering in 62 percent of simulations while winning outright more than two-thirds of the time. The Wizards have covered four straight home games and the home team is 9-2 ATS in this series.
