Smart Game Analysis
San Antonio Spurs has a 62% chance of winning the game
The Spurs hold a significant rest advantage and defensive edge with Wembanyama, though the Hornets enter with a five-game winning streak and home court.
Key Analysis
- • San Antonio benefits from two full days of rest compared to Charlotte playing with one day off after a road game in Dallas.
- • The Spurs are without defensive specialist Jeremy Sochan, but scorers Devin Vassell and Julian Champagnie are available.
- • Victor Wembanyama's elite rim protection challenges a Hornets offense that relies heavily on interior scoring and kick-outs.
- • Charlotte is playing its best basketball of the season with a five-game winning streak and the return of center Mark Williams.
- • The Hornets rank 5th in the NBA in 3-point shooting percentage, which could exploit the absence of the Spurs' best perimeter defender.
- • Charlotte must push the pace in transition to avoid attacking the Spurs' set defense in the half-court.
