ANALYSIS

Our fair value projection of 0.81 is supported by Charlotte’s dominant momentum, entering this matchup on a six-game ATS winning streak and fresh off a 3-0 road sweep. The Blazers' frontcourt depth is severely compromised with leading scorer Deni Avdija (back) and Shaedon Sharpe (calf) sidelined, while Brandon Miller remains in elite form for the Hornets, coming off a 33-point performance on February 26.
Key Data
Market prob 0.745; Spread -7.5 at 0.52; Hornets ML fair prob 0.81.
