New Orleans Pelicans vs Charlotte Hornets : Charlotte Hornets Under 127.5 Team Total Points (-526)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on 'Charlotte Hornets Under 127.5' is a strong choice, primarily due to the Hornets' recent offensive performance. Over their last five games, the Hornets have averaged a modest 102.8 points, which is significantly lower than the 127.5 set for this bet. Even when focusing on their away games, where they seem to perform better, their average score is 113.8, still well under the 127.5 mark. Additionally, their overall away record shows more losses than wins (1-4), suggesting a struggling offense. The model prediction also supports this bet, forecasting the Hornets to score only 98.28 points. Thus, based on the Hornets' recent scoring trends and the model prediction, the 'Under 127.5' bet appears to be a statistically sound choice.
