Taking a stab with Nick Smith Jr. here, in a spot where the Hornets will be without Brandon Miller, Lamelo Ball and Miles Bridges. Smith had moved into the starting lineup as is, so it wouldn’t surprise me for the Hornets to let him run the show tonight.

Game of the year! Nothing about this game looks like an over. Portland has been using their youth and athleticism to shutdown teams defensively. And they shouldn't have a hard time doing so, as Brandon Miller who averages 21 points, is out for the season for CHA. The under is 15-8 in POR road games and 15-5 in CHA home games. The Sportsline Model makes the number 210.

LaMelo Ball is certainly capable of topping this easily but is not assured of playing with a sprained shooting wrist and obviously if he does that might hamper him a bit. There's also the possible blowout factor as while Portland is playing its best hoops of the season on a three-game winning streak, it's the second of a B2B and end of a trip through the East so a natural letdown spot and we might see some guys get the night off. Our model has LaMelo at 26.3 points.
