Portland Trailblazers at Charlotte Hornets Prediction

We have been steadfast in targeting Charlotte when they are away from home but we have been apt to step in when they seem to be undervalued at home. Right now, the Hornets look in complete disarray but this is the perfect scenario for them to get back on track. Portland has been abysmal on the road all season long and they live and die by their offense. The bad news is that they play in the Western Conference and many are astute to the tricks up the sleeves of Lillard and McCollum. Right now, Charlotte does not seem to be a great play spotting points to anyone. However, there is just cause here given the fact we get reduced juice and a likely lower price tag given their recent woes. Perfect time to buy in on the Hornets at home in the Queen City against a Portland Trailblazers team that has been terrible outside of Rip City.
