The Charlotte Hornets will play host to the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA on Monday evening. The Hornets (22-28) are 11th in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Pels (13-38) are 14th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Don’t look now, but theCharlotte Hornets are arguably the hottest team in the NBA. They enter this match riding a six-game win streak following a 111-106 victory over the Spurs on Saturday.
Underlining how impressive they have been lately, the Hornets scored 35 points while holding the Spurs to just 17 in Q2 in their last match. Brandon Miller is playing incredibly and scored 26 points in that game, while LaMelo Ball added 16.
Charlotte has had the best defensive rating in the league during this win streak and is now two wins behind 10th-placed Atlanta, with a game in hand. Mason Plumlee is ruled out for this one.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans have been decent of late, winning three of their last five games, but they were unable to keep up with the 76ers on Saturday, losing 124-114 on the road.
Sadi Bey had a good game, scoring 34 points and six rebounds. However, despite their recent uptick, the Pels still rank sixth-worst for offensive rating and fourth-worst on the defensive end.
Notably, New Orleans beat this opponent 116-112 back in November at home, but they have only won five games on the road so far this season.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
Given how poor the Pelicans results have been this season, they are constantly installed as big underdogs and have therefore been able to remain profitable, which makes them tempting in this match.
However, the Hornets are playing their best ball of the season right now and have only cashed fewer tickets than the Suns to date. This is a match Charlotte will feel they should win after taking down the Spurs, and we feel they will deliver for their backers again. Our Charlotte Hornets vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction is Charlotte Hornets -5.5.
