Oklahoma City Thunder at Charlotte Hornets Prediction
What we have here is yet another continuation of our mining for “buy-back” situations. We laid Charlotte on the road at Chicago by virtue of a reaction to the Bulls being routed by the visiting Bucks. As a result of this much of the public went the other way with Charlotte and they were summarily let-down when the Hornets were swatted. As a result of the consensus taking enhanced points on Charlotte, we were able to get Chicago at a reduced price. Now we will get the same chance afforded to us with the Hornets who are 11-7 at home this season. For Oklahoma City, like Charlotte they are marginal on the road as they are just a .500 team away from home. Even with Oklahoma City dominating this series as of late, they are taking back just incremental points. Now we see, the Thunder now entering in a scenario where they seem like the value play with points as well, setting them up for a let-down as well as we saw with Charlotte at Chicago. Perfect time to sell on the Thunder and head the other way with the Hornets at home in the Queen City.
Free Pick:
Take Charlotte -2.5
