Phoenix Suns vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks

No team has a worse active streak in the NBA than the Hornets' 10-game winless streak. A good chance to get back on track will be given to them on Tuesday when they host an inconsistent Suns who will play on back-to-back nights away from Arizona. The Suns haven't been the best on the road this season, but with a 6-10 record they were able to beat the 76ers on Monday at the Wells Fargo Center in a game that the betting sites were calling for anyone to win.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, the Hornets suffered their 10th straight loss at the hands of a towering Cavaliers team in Cleveland. It was a very predictable loss as the betting sites gave the Hornets a +16.5 point handicap closing out the pregame action. However, the Hornets would at least cover by only losing by 10 points. Melo Ball and Miller both had 24 points in the loss, and off the bench Nick Smith Jr. had a good night contributing 18.

For Tuesday's clash against the Suns the Hornets will be underdogs for the 5th time this season at the Spectrum Center, having lost 3 of the previous 4 games in that case.

Our Phoenix Suns vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

Both teams have been hampered by injuries. Despite all the negative December for the Hornets, the truth is that this beginning of 2025 was played without their stars Ball and Miller who returned on Sunday both in a very uphill game against the Cavs, however, both returned in a good way contributing to Charlotte's offense. With both teams averaging low-scoring games recently, perhaps Tuesday's clash with the Suns' somewhat tired defense could buck the trend and deliver a high-scoring game at Spectrum Center. Our prediction for Hornets vs Suns is: Over 220.5 points.
