The money has been on the Under as it opened 7.5 @ -114 before it was bet down to 6.5 @ +116.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
Offensive rebounds maintain possession and produce more opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Hornets grade out 3rd-best in in the league with 14.2 offensive rebounds per game over the last 5 games.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
The Hornets have played at the 5th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league while playing at home this year.
