Powered by their new All-Star duo Anthony Davis and Trae Young, the Washington Wizards look like a valuable target for big-swing bettors, with a +114 underdog price against the Charlotte Hornets.

That’s a $214 payout for every $100 stake.

Current Form:

The Washington Wizards have gone 2-1 in their last 3 games. The Wizards opened their season with a 128-116 win over the Milwaukee Bucks but lost in their second game to the reloaded Toronto Raptors, 102-112. The Wizards bounced back with their first road win over the Chicago Bulls, 124-120.

The Charlotte Hornets are also 2-1 to start the season. Charlotte won 110-103 over the Brooklyn Nets, got demolished by the Atlanta Hawks 81-121, and rebounded with a 115-110 win over the Miami Heat.

Players to Watch: Wizards guard Trae Young has averaged a double-double through the first week of the new season, registering 22.3 ppg and 11.3 apg.

Naz Reid has also thrived with his new team as well. Charlotte’s newly acquired forward is averaging 20.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.

The Matchup: The Hornets have won their last 4 meetings against the Wizards. However, Washington has stars across the board this season, making them a difficult matchup for Charlotte.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards Prediction

The Difference Maker: The Hornets certainly showed some promise in their first three games, but this upcoming showdown with the Wizards will test their true strengths. The Wizards are loaded with talent. They have two legitimate All-Stars, Trae Young and Anthony Davis, plus a crop of rapidly improving youngsters.

What to Expect: The Wizards earned another road win. Davis and Young will be a nightmare matchup for the Hornets, especially if the supporting cast can provide solid contributions.

The Wizards averaged 118.0 points per game, while the Hornets grind down opponents, scoring 102 points per game and allowing 113.7.

Fearless Forecast: The Wizards 116, the Hornets 109
