The Washington Wizards have been one of the worst NBA teams, but that hasn’t stopped them from hanging around in the playoff race, sitting just two games out of the Play-In tournament heading into Tuesday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Washington, which has won two consecutive games, is collectively riding high following Russell Westbrook’s incredible triple-double performance that featured 35 points, 21 assists and 14 rebounds in Monday’s win over Indiana.
On the other side, Charlotte has done a solid job staying afloat without the services of rookie of the year front runner LaMelo Ball, with guards Devonte Graham and Terry Rozier stepping up big time in his absence.
The Hornets have won three of their last five games, including an impressive victory over Miami where they comfortably covered the +1.5 line as underdogs.
Charlotte will be looking for their fifth cover in a row in this spot, and our latest PRO Report suggests sharp bettors are expecting the Hornets to keep their cover streak going. Let’s take a look.
