The Charlotte Hornets and the Washington Wizards are both vying for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and will meet tonight on the Wizards’ home court, Capital One Arena. The Hornets have been in a tailspin, losers of 2 straight and 12 of their last 16. Charlotte’s road record is nothing to write home about, at 9-23, where they are averaging 108.9 points per game and allowing an average of 115.4. The Wizards have won 2 straight and have been tough at home. They are 20-12 at Capital One where they are averaging 118.1 points per game and allowing an average of 114.2. The home team has won the last 4 meetings and these games are usually close so consider the Wizards on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON WIZARDS M/L
