Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards prediction

I’m not running to the window to back either the Hornets or Wizards, but I’m certainly not laying chalk with either side. The Washington Wizards haven’t won a game in over a month, so excuse me if I’m fading them in the favorite role. Home court doesn’t matter either when you consider the Wizards are 3-26 SU at the Capital One Arena. The Charlotte Hornets have shown far and away more life this season, and they’ve covered 6 of their last 10 games. The Hornets have also won the last 2 games against the Wizards. If forced to pick, I’m grabbing the free bucket with the Hornets.
