Im taking the hornets at home +4.5 vs the Brooklyn Nets for these reasons:

- Nets have no business being 4.5 point favorites on the road vs anyone. These teams are both bad, but the return of Lamelo ball and Miles Bridges has elevated the level of play as we seen vs the cavaliers last night.

- While it’s likely that Bridges won’t drop 40 again, he will still have his way against an undersized Brooklyn team made up of mainly guards and small forwards.

- Brooklyn have only beaten the 76ers on the road in their last 5 games away from home, a testament to how untrustworthy they are in road spots, especially vs a hornets team that plays their best basketball at home, when Lamelo and Bridges are available.

Official Play: Hornets +4.5

Side Bet: DAngelo Russell over 11.5 points

Hail Mary: Under 212
