Charlotte still has some work to do if they are going to reach the playoffs, but they have hope.<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio comes into this game with a record of <em>43-21<\/em>, but they have not been a good road team. The Spurs have managed to go just <em>14-23<\/em> away from home this season, but did beat Boston in their previous game. Charlotte comes into this game with a record of <em>34-39<\/em> and remain just outside of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/reviews\/intertops\">Spurs are a -3.5 point favourite over the Hornets<\/a> in this game<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Spurs Just Find Ways to Win<\/h2>\n<p>The San Antonio Spurs don\u2019t do anything particularly well this season, but they manage to find ways to win games. The Spurs are <em>scoring 111.8 points per game<\/em> this season, while allowing 110.1 points per night. San Antonio does shoot close to 40 percent from the three-point line, but they don&#8217;t shoot a ton of them. <a href=\"http:\/\/theundefeated.com\/features\/san-antonio-spurs-gregg-popovich-is-the-nbas-most-woke-coach\/\">Head coach Gregg Popovich is a Hall of Fame coach<\/a>, and this might be his best coaching job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DeMar Derozan<\/strong> has been terrific for the Spurs in his first season in San Antonio. The former Raptors star is <em>averaging 21.4 points and 6.2 assists per game<\/em>. Center <strong>LaMarcus Aldridge<\/strong> is having a terrific season as well, and poured in 48 points in the win over the Boston Celtics. The Spurs also rely on a ton of role players to help them win games, and they will need to play well in this game.<\/p>\n<h2>Hornets Offense Better of Late<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/nba-2018-19-season-charlotte-hornets-at-houston-rockets-preview\/\">Charlotte Hornets<\/a> have not been a very high scoring team this season, but they have been finding offense of late. After scoring just 75 points in a loss to the Miami Heat last week, the Hornets have scored at least 113 points in each of their last three games. Charlotte has been a pretty good team on the defensive end of the floor, but their offense has helped them win games of late.<\/p>\n<p>Point guard <strong>Kemba Walker<\/strong> has been the leader for the Hornets on offense this season, and was named to the All-Star team for his efforts. Walker leads the Hornets with <em>25 points and 5.8 assists per game this season<\/em>. Shooting guard <strong>Jeremy Lamb<\/strong> is the second best option for the Hornets, and hit a game winner for the Hornets in their last game. The Hornets make 12 three pointers per game, and will shoot plenty of them.<\/p>\n<h2>San Antonio To Get Road Win<\/h2>\n<p>Even though the Spurs aren&#8217;t a very good road team, they are going to get the win in this game. San Antonio is rounding into playoff form, and their two stars will carry them to a victory. <\/p>\n<p>Charlotte can\u2019t afford another loss at home, but that\u2019s what they are going to get. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Bet the San Antonio Spurs -3.5 over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night<\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Charlotte Hornets will be looking for their fourth straight win when they host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.
