Charlotte Hornets vs Phoenix Suns Betting Preview

The Charlotte Hornets (8-27) face off against the Phoenix Suns (18-19) in a Sunday Night showdown at Footprint Center, set to tip off at 9:00 PM ET. Both teams are coming off back-to-back games, which could impact their performance, particularly for the Hornets, who have traveled cross-country and across two time zones. This travel fatigue might hinder their chances against a Suns team that, despite its struggles, is favored at home.

Currently, the Suns are listed at -7.0 on the spread, with a moneyline of -300, suggesting a strong belief in their ability to secure a win. The Hornets, on the other hand, sit at +250 on the moneyline, reflecting an implied win probability of 28%. This disparity in odds underscores the challenges the Hornets face, especially considering their recent form, having lost 24 of their last 30 games.

Conversely, the Suns have also been struggling, losing 16 of their last 25. However, they did manage to secure a victory in their last outing, defeating the Utah Jazz 114-106, which could provide a much-needed boost in confidence.

As both teams look to turn their fortunes around, the Suns will aim to capitalize on their home court advantage, while the Hornets will need to dig deep to overcome the fatigue and travel challenges. Bettors should consider the implications of both teams' recent performances and the physical toll of back-to-back games when placing their wagers.
