New Orleans Pelicans vs Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview

On January 7, 2023, the New Orleans Pelicans (12-33) will face off against the Charlotte Hornets (11-30) in a Saturday night showdown at Spectrum Center, with tip-off set for 7:00 PM ET. Both teams are in dire need of a win, as they have struggled significantly this season, with each losing 30 of their last 40 games.

This matchup is particularly challenging for both squads, as they are entering a back-to-back scenario, having played just a day prior. The Pelicans fell to the Memphis Grizzlies 139-126, while the Hornets were edged out by the Portland Trail Blazers 102-97. The lack of rest could be a deciding factor, potentially impacting player performance and stamina.

Despite being on the road, the Pelicans are slight favorites in this contest, currently holding a spread of -3.5. The moneyline reflects this sentiment as well, with the Pelicans at -160 and the Hornets at +135. According to the odds, the Pelicans have an implied win probability of 59%, while the Hornets sit at 41%.

While the Pelicans are favored, their recent form raises questions about their ability to capitalize on this advantage. They have been unable to find consistent success, and fatigue from back-to-back games could further hinder their chances. Meanwhile, the Hornets will also be battling tired legs, but they will look to leverage their home court advantage to pull off an upset.
