I’m on the Hornets -4.5 on the road vs the Utah Jazz for these reasons:

- Why. Why is this not -7 ? The Utah Jazz don’t have any players playing tonight that can put up points or play defense tonight. Clarkson, Markennen, Sexton, Collins, Juzang, are all unavailable for this game.

- These Teams HEALTHY, are the exact same caliber. Both are 14 in their conference and have nothing to play for this season, probably made get their player traded, and will be looking for a top 5 draft pick. We have to lay the points with the healthier team who will not be missing anyone on the roster tonight and they are a young group with 2 budding stars in Lamelo and Brandon Miller, with quality bench players who will likely be playing most of the 4th quarter.

- Hornets won 2 games ago vs the Suns who have Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Then almost beat them again this past Sunday! Hornets also haven’t played since Sunday so they will be FRESH. The Jazz just won without their stars on Sunday, but that was vs the Nets who are worse than the Hornets plus they only won by 1 points vs a team who can’t shoot threes.

Official Play: Hornets -4.5 (up to 6.5)

Side Bet: Over 221.5

Hail Mary: Brandon Miller Over 3.5 3pt shots made
