San Antonio Spurs vs Charlotte Hornets prediction 1-12-24 Picks

The Charlotte Hornets and the San Antonio Spurs collide at the AT&T Center on Friday night. Here’s a Hornets vs Spurs Prediction.

Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 14 of their last 15 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a three-game slide after getting dismantled by the Kings in a 123-98 loss on Wednesday. Miles Bridges led the team with 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists, Terry Rozier added 22 points while Brandon Miller chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Hornets shot just 40 percent from the field and 16 of 38 from the 3-point line, but they allowed the Kings off to a quick start and simply got outpaced in every quarter to suffer their fifth double digit loss in their past seven games.

Charlotte Hornets Team Facts

• The Hornets have lost 14 of their last 15 games.
• The Hornets have covered the spread in each of their last five games against the Spurs.
• Each of the Hornets’ last six games as underdogs following a home loss have gone UNDER the total points line.

San Antonio Spurs

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in a slump of their own as they’ve lost 10 of their last 12 games, but they will be eager to build some momentum after snapping a five-game slide with a 130-108 road win over the Pistons on Wednesday. Keldon Johnson led the team in scoring with 17 points off the bench, Victor Wembenyama and Devin Vassell scored 16 points each while Jeremy Sochan chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Spurs shot 52 percent from the field and nine of 27 from the 3-point line as they played nothing like the team that’s been struggling lately as they jumped out to an early double digit and just kept piling on the points to finish with their most dominant win of the season.

San Antonio Spurs Team Facts

• The Spurs have lost 14 of their last 15 games at Frost Bank Center.
• The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven home games following a win.
• Each of the Spurs’ last 10 Friday home games have gone OVER the total points line.

Hornets vs Spurs Prediction

The Hornets have struggled all season and they are coming into this one fresh off a 25-point loss to the Kings, but the Spurs haven’t really been much better as they had lost five in a row before taking down the league-worst Pistons in their last outing. You couldn’t back either team with any confidence this season, so I wouldn’t blame you for skipping this contest. However, if I had to choose, I think I’d prefer a play on the Spurs who lost to the Bucks and Cavaliers by a combined six points before their win over the Pistons.
