Over/Under

Hornets vs. Rockets Prediction

Charlotte was awful for bettors last year despite playing in the East.

Atlanta was far and away the worst bet in basketball, covering only 35% of spreads. Then there was Charlotte at 41%. However, Action PRO models show a solid edge backing the Hornets to cover the number in head coach Charles Lee’s regular-season debut.

Point Spread

The consensus price is Rockets -7. PRO Projections, meanwhile, set the fair line at Houston -4.5, giving bettors a chunky edge on the visitors.

Total

Our sharp-action signal is active on the Hornets vs. Rockets under.

Odds to Win

The Hornets are +235. Advanced projections favor Charlotte on the moneyline, setting the price more like Hornets +175. The market expects Charlotte to win 30% of the time; we predict the Hornets win about 37%.

Our PRO Pick

Due to strong projection edges on Charlotte, the savvy pick here is taking advantage of a potentially inflated point spread early in the season and rolling with the Hornets to cover.

PRO Projections Pick: Hornets +7.5
