I personally like seeing downtrodden teams finally rise up (just not apparently the Bulls) as the Hornets are doing. What a great pick Kon Knueppel was at No. 4 in the 2025 draft. If you redraft, he probably goes second. White boy with not-great athleticism? I thought he'd struggle in the pros kinda like Steve Alford did; he was a similar player in college. But Kon shoots the lights out and hasn't stopped in the NBA. He's Vanilla Curry (tm). I'm sure the Bulls would have passed on him and taken Dalen Terry or the like. Insert Charlie Brown sigh here. Half unit as the Spurs are excellent.

Agreed, some very good efforts from the Spurs over the past month, but drill a bit deeper and note a very so-so 9-8 SU mark since after the Christmas win over the Thunder, alternating wins and losses the past two weeks. January setbacks to the likes of Portland, Memphis, and New Orleans suggest to be careful picking out proper spots to go with the Spurs, who haven't won back-to-back games on the road since before Christmas. The Hornets are the hotter of these two teams, leading NBA net rating in January, and with a five-game win streak entering this afternoon after Kon Knueppel's 34 points help see of the Mavs and Kon's old Duke teammate Cooper Flagg (49 points and all) on Thursday. Play Hornets
