Kon Knueppel o20.5 Points Scored (-110)
Rookie Kon Knueppel has scored at least 21 points in each of his last four games, with Charlotte winning three straight.
CHA -8.0 (-110)
After a slow start, the Charlotte Hornets have done a complete 180, and they’ll have no problem covering a modest spread at home. Over the last 20 games, Charlotte’s 15-5 ATS record is best in the Association, and its 9.5 point differential per game is second best.
The Hornets have covered in six straight overall and six of their last seven at home. The Portland Trail Blazers have covered in three straight on the road, but that mark is fool’s gold, as the matchups were against the tanking Utah Jazz, the shorthanded Phoenix Suns, and the spiraling Chicago Bulls.
