Best Bet for Charlotte Hornets vs Portland Trail Blazers

Best Bet: Charlotte Hornets -7.5 (-114)

Book: Best Price on FanDuel

Our best bet for Charlotte Hornets vs Portland Trail Blazers is Charlotte Hornets -7.5 (-114) against the spread.

Both Hornets and the Trail Blazers are currently 29-31 in the league, and are currently in good form. However, if we have to compare, the Hornets are doing better considering they have won three games in a row, and their seventh in the last ten matches. Talking about their stats, the Hornets have the fourth-best offense in the league, while their rivals have occupied a spot down the standings.

In addition, their defense makes the Hornets the 17th-best team while the Trail Blazers are 19th. The spread at Hornets -7.5 fits the hosts well considering their offensive and defensive edge. They can cover well in such spots.

Keeping their recent form, homecourt advantage and better on-court stats in mind, we are comfortably laying the Charlotte Hornets -7.5 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect them to cover the number today.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Charlotte Hornets vs Portland Trail Blazers

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Charlotte Hornets -9.5 (alternate spread)
Brandon Miller Over 22.5 points
LaMelo Ball Over 19.5 points

Combined odds: +636

We have built this same-game parlay around the Charlotte Hornets to win big at home. Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball are the key scorers for the side, and they are expected to make most of their homecourt advantage as well as the better on-court balance.

These legs are correlated considering if the Hornets dominate the game and have control of the court right from the beginning, their players will get volume. This way, we can expect them to end up with more scoring opportunities. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
