Charlotte Hornets vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 11/19/24

The Hornets (5-8) and the Nets (5-9) both enter this contest on the back of losses and are winless in the NBA Cup so far. The Nets have lost 3 straight and are looking to end that slide against a team in the Hornets that has lost 5 straight road games following their opening-day road win against the Rockets. The Nets have started the year at 3-3 at home, but 2 of those defeats came against the Celtics and Nuggets, with wins coming over the Bucks, Bulls and Grizzlies. They have also been spread machines so far this season, covering a league-high 76.9% (10-3-1) of the time and are currently 2.5-point favorites against the Hornets.

Charlotte’s undoing this season has largely been its scoring offense. They have averaged 108.7 points per game, making them the 25th-ranked offense this season, and this figure drops further on the road to 105.2. While Brooklyn isn’t amongst the elite scorers in the NBA, currently ranked 18th with an average of 111.4 points per game, this jumps to 114.3 when playing at the Barclays Center. The Under is a tempting play here at a 224.5 with 2 below-average scoring teams, but the road form of Charlotte, a slightly more reliable offense in Brooklyn, as well as their ATS record this season all point towards taking the Nets -2.5 at home.

Hornets vs Nets prediction: Nets -2.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
