Smart Game Analysis
Charlotte Hornets has a 64% chance of winning the game
With the Jazz missing their franchise star Lauri Markkanen and defensive anchor Walker Kessler, the healthier Hornets are primed to extend their head-to-head winning streak on the road.
Key Analysis
- • Utah is severely depleted with leading scorer Lauri Markkanen and rim protector Walker Kessler both ruled out for this matchup.
- • Charlotte features a fully healthy offensive core of LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Miles Bridges against a thin Jazz rotation.
- • The Hornets have dominated this specific matchup recently, winning the last four meetings including a 23-point blowout earlier this season.
- • Utah ranks dead last in the NBA in defensive rating (123.1) and will struggle to protect the paint without their primary shot-blocker.
- • Charlotte has been a reliable bet recently, covering the spread in 8 of their last 10 games despite struggling to close out wins.
- • The Jazz must rely on a massive scoring outburst from Keyonte George to compensate for the significant offensive void left by Markkanen.
