Stephen Nover's NBA Friday Bookie Basher
(NBA) Minnesota vs. Charlotte, 11/26/2021 7:00 PM, Score: 115 - 133
Money Line: -128.00 Charlotte (Home)
Result: Win
Scheduling dynamics heavily factor into this one. Both teams are hot. Minnesota is on a five-game win streak, its longest in four years. Charlotte is 7-1 in its last eight games. 

This is the Hornets' lone home matchup during an eight-game span. Charlotte just concluded three road games. The Hornets go back on the road for four more away games following this matchup. So the urgency definitely is with Charlotte.

The Hornets are 6-2 SU and ATS at home this season, winning and covering their past four. The two home losses occurred to the Celtics in overtime a month ago and to the Cavaliers by three points on Nov. 1. Charlotte had just upset Portland the day before playing the Cavaliers. The Hornets are not in a letdown spot here. 

Charlotte has been strong as a favorite covering 15 of the last 22 in that role. 

The Timberwolves are 1-4 ATS during their past five games against Charlotte.
