Advice and prediction
A 34-point total fourth quarter saved the under in Thursday’s meeting between the two teams. Meeting again on Saturday, the over/under has adjusted at three points lower. Considering the extreme circumstances that led to the under hitting, taking the under is intriguing.
However, Hornets +7.5 is the bet if you can get it early. Gordon Hayward’s injury did not project to be a long-term one and there’s a chance he could play on Saturday, which would immediately drop the line. Even without him, the Hornets were close on Friday even with Toronto shooting unseasonably well from three.
Prediction: Toronto 110, Charlotte 106
