The Charlotte Hornets are set to welcome the Washington Wizards in an Eastern Conference clash on Saturday. The hosts, seeded 12th in the standings with a 17-28 win-loss record, are coming off a blowout win over the Orlando Magic. The Wizards, on the other hand, are seeded at the bottom of the conference standings, and are riding off an eight-game losing streak.

The Hornets are 10-point favorites with moneyline at -480 and total around 232.5 points. These NBA odds today suggest that the Hornets are likely to make the most of their homecourt advantage and hand the Wizards their ninth straight loss. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for today’s clash.

Here’s how we are betting Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards on Saturday.

Best Bet for Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards

Best Bet: Charlotte Hornets -10 (-114)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards is Hornets -10 (-114) against the spread.

The Charlotte Hornets have the eighth best offense in the league and the 20th-best defense. The Wizards, on the other hand, are struggling with the second-worst offensive and defensive ratings. In addition to it, they have also occupied a spot at the bottom of the deck in the East. What makes things worse for them is their eight-game losing skid.

The spread at -10 suits the Hornets well considering their overall edge over the Wizards. The Hornets cover well in such spots, against weaker teams.

Considering their offensive and defensive edge, as well as their rivals’ struggling form, we are comfortably laying the Hornets -10 (-114) as our Best Bet, and expect them to cover the number today.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: LaMelo Ball Over 18.5 points
Leg 2: Miles Bridges Over 16.5 points
Leg 3: Moussa Diabate Over 10.5 rebounds

Combined odds: +685

We have built this same-game parlay around the Hornets to dominate at home. LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges are likely to take offensive charge of their team and put up a decent score on the board. Moussa Diabate dominates the glass, and we see him doing the same against a defensively weak team on Saturday.

These legs are correlated, considering if the Hornets take control of the court against the Wizards, their players get volume and they put up a decent score on the board. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
