Betting Trends for vs

Charlotte C Cody Zeller is looking to return from a hand injury some time around the All-Star Break. These two teams rank in the bottom half of the league in defensive efficiency, so the over is worth a look. The stronger play is on Charlotte to get the job done at home. Final Score Prediction, Charlotte Hornets win and cover ATS 120-112.
