Nets vs Hornets Betting Pick
This game will be played at Spectrum Center at 7:00 PM ET on Monday, March 8, 2022.
Why Bet The Nets:
✅ The Hornets trounced the Nets 111-95 as 9-point road underdogs in their first meeting of the season, but it was way back in October. Brooklyn will look to get revenge, and despite their awful form, the Nets have gone 4-0-2 ATS in their previous six outings on the road. On the other side, the Hornets are only 2-8 SU and 2-7-1 ATS in their previous ten showings on the home court.
✅ The biggest reason for the Nets’ strong ATS record on the road is Kyrie Irving. The seven-time All-Star is ineligible for the home games due to medical protocols, so he’s been doing a great job for the Nets on the road. Over his last five outings, Irving was tallying 28.8 points and 6.6 assists per game. Both LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier will have a difficult time slowing Irving down.

✅ Kevin Durant should be a key factor in this matchup. In that heavy loss to the Hornets at the start of the season, KD accounted for 38 points on 17-for-24 shooting from the field. Charlotte is far away from an elite defensive team and will once more struggle to deal with one of the best scorers in NBA history. Last Thursday, Durant returned from a 21-game absence caused by a knee injury, dropping 31 points in a 113-107 loss to the Miami Heat.
Brooklyn Nets
The Nets are on a four-game losing streak following a 126-120 loss at the Boston Celtics last Sunday. They were listed as 6-point underdogs, recording the third push of the season. Brooklyn couldn’t cope with Jayson Tatum, who finished with 54 points, while Kevin Durant scored 37 for the slumping Nets.
Brooklyn has lost 17 of its last 20 games overall. The Nets are in danger of losing the playoff spot, while people are still talking about winning the championship. Ben Simmons (back, conditioning) won’t return to the floor any time soon, and Joe Harris is done for the season due to an ankle injury.
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets are back on the right track following a couple of straight wins over Cleveland 119-98 and San Antonio 123-117. As I’ve already mentioned, the Hornets have struggled over the last few weeks, dropping 11 of their previous 15 games at any location.
Last Saturday, Charlotte beat the Spurs and covered a 4-point spread at home. Terry Rozier led the way with 31 points and six assists; LaMelo Ball posted a nice line of 24 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists, while P.J. Washington added 15 points, five boards, and a couple of blocks and steals.
