The Charlotte Hornets (2-4) host the Utah Jazz (2-3) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Sunday, November 2, at the Spectrum Center.
The Hornets aim to stop a three-game slide at home. In their most recent outing, they fell 123-107 to the Orlando Magic, undone by 21 turnovers despite shooting 50.6% from the field. Charlotte trailed by 15 points in the halftime and never seemed to find their footing.
Not a single player on the Hornets squad reached 20 points in that loss. Veteran guard Collin Sexton came off the bench to topscore with 19, while LaMelo Ball and Ryan Kalkbrenner finished with 17 points apiece.
On the other side, the Jazz are also coming off a 118-96 loss to Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns. A 37-17 first quarter lead for the Suns set the tone for the entire game.
Despite the loss, Jazz star forward Lauri Markkanen still came up with 33 points on 50% shooting. Only one other Jazz player scored in double digits, with young guard Keyonte George finishing with 17 points, 8 boards, and 9 assists.
On Sunday, Utah’s frontcourt depth takes a hit with Walker Kessler ruled out. For Charlotte, Brandon Miller, Josh Green, and Grant Williams are still sidelined.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Utah Jazz Prediction
After coughing up the ball (a lot of times) versus the Magic, expect the Hornets to prioritize pace control and cleaner half-court sets around LaMelo Ball. With Jazz defensive big man Walker Kessler sidelined, the Hornets will have an easier time on offense.
Of course, Lauri Markkanen is still a force to reckon with. But with Kessler out, their defense might have a difficult time against the Hornets. Our prediction for the Charlotte Hornets vs Utah Jazz match is: Hornets (-3.5) cover the spread.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
