The Hornets are rightfully a heavy favorite here. Charlotte has elevated its game all throughout 2026 and they have shown to be effective and methodical on both ends of the floor. Indiana meanwhile doesn’t have the wherewithal to keep up with the Hornets. This isn’t a dress rehearsal for Charlotte either. If the Hornets get up big, they’ll keep hammering. Lay the points.

The San Antonio Spurs enter in strong form, averaging over 115 points per game recently and playing improved defense while pushing the pace. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have failed to cover in five straight games and have struggled badly as large underdogs. With momentum and motivation on their side, San Antonio is positioned to control the game.

Houston is playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back, they’re just 3-5 SU in 8 such games this season. The Magic return home after a successful road trip where they won 3 of 4 games, including back-to-back over the Lakers and Clippers. Jalen Suggs also returns from injury, his elite defense should help them contain the likes of Durant and co. here. I have the Magic winning this one at home.

The New Orleans Pelicans are averaging nearly 117 points per game over their last 10, with Zion Williamson leading an efficient, balanced offense.
