Spread & Over/Under Predictions for Hornets vs. Bulls
USA TODAY Sports

Each game day, we at All Hornets will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of Charlotte Hornets games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.

Star ratings:

1 Star - Not very confident

2 Star - A little confident

3 Star - Fairly confident

4 Star - Very confident

5 Star - Should be a lock to happen

Spread: Bulls -6.5

2 Star play on the Hornets (+6.5): It's been a while since the Hornets have played in front of the home crowd, so I'm sure they'll feel a little energized even after a long road trip. Charlotte played Chicago tough for three quarters just a couple of days ago before falling apart in the opening minutes of the fourth. I get the gut feeling that they will cover with a chance to win.

Over/Under: 216.5

1 Star play on the under: This is a low total but one that makes a lot of sense. The Bulls have one of the top defenses in the NBA, yet are one of the worst in points per game. The Hornets tend to go through a long rut offensively each game since LaMelo Ball has been sidelined and it showed the other night in the Windy City. Let's lean to the under.

My picks this season

ATS: 8-14 (36%)

O/U: 11-11 (50%)

Overall: 19-25 (43%)
