The Charlotte Hornets and the Washington Wizards will kick off a loaded Friday night in the NBA. Both teams are coming off a loss and are looking to bounce back.

Washington will have the leg up in this one, as it’s healthier than the Hornets. Charlotte is missing LaMelo Ball, Dennis Smith Jr., Gordon Hayward and Cody Martin. Will Terry Rozier be able to carry the team to a win against the Wizards – who are 1-4 SU in their last five games?

Here are the odds for the game. 

Wizards vs. Hornets Odds, Spread and Total

Wizards vs. Hornets Prediction and Pick

With both teams struggling to pick up consistent wins, I want to look at the total for this one. The Wizards have hit the over in four of their last five games, while the Hornets are just 2-3 against the OVER in that span. Still, the over has value. 

In the last five games, the Wizards are 5th in offensive rating. Yet, they are also 27th in defensive rating. As for the Hornets, they are 12th in pace. With the Wizards scoring buckets and the Hornets looking to get up and down the floor, this should be a high-scoring affair.
