Nets vs. Hornets Odds & Betting Predictions - March 10, 2024

Selling high now that Cam Thomas is back with the team. Dennis is coming off two 20+ points game against inferior paint defense opponents (PHI & DET) In these games, he drove 21.0 times (#2 overall in league) and accumulated 43% of his points at the rim. Additionally, he saw extra run last game with Dennis Smith Jr. (another driver) in foul trouble all game. Tonight’s matchup on paper may seem easy against the Hornets but from a playtype standpoint it’s terrible for him. They rank 3rd best in limiting ball handling drivers PPG & limit the 2nd fewest Pull-Up FREQ% over the last 10 games. Grant Williams is a big reason for this off the 2nd unit as the backup center, making it tougher in coverage on drives and on-ball defense. Since All-Star Break, Schroder’s game has consisted of 32.7% FREQ via Pull-Up shots and ranks 8th on his team in Catch & Shoot FREQ% (where CHA’s weakness is). The Hornets also play at the 4th slowest PACE and are bottom-10 in allowing opposing PPG during ASB. It wont be a fast-paced scoring environment like it may seem. #PlayerProps
