Handicapping aficionados who care less about straight-up marks still love games like this one at Barclays Center. For the Hornets, the iffy status of top scorer LaMelo Ball (28 ppg; missed Sunday's loss to the Pistons with ankle) is a bit unsettling, but even with Ball being active most of the past two weeks, Charlotte is only scoring at a tepid 102 pg pace across its last seven games. It's part of a much-longer under narrative that stands 17-7 since last December. Meanwhile, the Nets are now under 10-2 their last 12 after another low-scoring affair on Saturday vs. the Heat, which was Brooklyn's fourth win in five games. A slower pace is working just fine for Jordi Fernandez. Play Hornets-Nets Under.
