Phoenix Suns vs Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview

This matchup features the Suns playing in a challenging back-to-back scenario after their recent victory against the Philadelphia 76ers, where they secured a 109-99 win. However, fatigue could be an issue, as traveling cross-country and across two time zones may affect their performance. The Suns, despite their struggles, are favored in this contest, currently holding a -4.5 spread and a moneyline of -185, translating to an implied win probability of 63%.

On the flip side, the Hornets are in dire straits, having lost 10 consecutive games, including a recent 115-105 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Given their current form and the overall performance this season, the Hornets enter the game as underdogs with a moneyline of +160, yielding an implied win probability of 37%.

For bettors looking to target player props, LaMelo Ball’s Points and Assists market has generated considerable interest. The line for this prop opened at Over 31.5 and has since moved to Over 33.5, indicating sharp action on the over, particularly at -120.

With the Suns encouraged by their latest win but facing hurdles with fatigue and travel, and the Hornets desperate to end their losing streak, this game promises to be intriguing for both fans and bettors alike.
