The Charlotte Hornets and the Houston Rockets will meet for the final time this season tonight in a rematch of a double-overtime thriller from earlier this season. Both teams are struggling over the past few weeks, going a combined 7-13.
The Hornets are without three players due to health and safety protocols, while the Rockets are fully healthy. Still, Houston is a 6-point underdog and is a noticeable underdog. Can they pull off the upset and get the job done?

Rockets vs. Hornets Prediction and Pick
The last time these teams played, Houston shocked the Hornets in double overtime. Houston has tailed off since then, so I won't pick the Rockets to win tonight, but they can stay in the game. Charlotte's M.O. has been to score as much as possible, hoping it can make up for its lack of defense. However, Houston has subscribed to that line of thinking as well.
Over the last ten games, both teams are top seven in offensive rating and are the worst two teams in defensive rating. Even without Miles Bridges, plenty of points will be scored tonight in Charlotte. The best play for tonight is the OVER 236. The total is high, but neither team can stop the other and if the three-point shooting is as prolific as the last meeting, this is an easy play.
Pick: OVER 236
