San Antonio Spurs @ Charlotte Hornets - February 7, 2025

Alright, folks! It’s game day, and I can feel the excitement buzzing through the air like a last-second buzzer-beater. Tonight, we’ve got the San Antonio Spurs heading to Spectrum Center to take on the Charlotte Hornets. Now, let me tell you, as a die-hard fan of my team, I’m ready to bleed those colors and cheer them on!

The Spurs come into this matchup with a record of 22-26. They’ve had their ups and downs lately but managed to snag a nail-biting win against the Hawks in their last outing. However, they didn’t cover the spread there, which has been a bit of an issue for them lately—4-10 against the spread in their last 14 games isn’t exactly what you want to see. But hey, they’re still scoring an impressive 112 points per game at a solid shooting percentage of nearly 46%. Their ball movement is also something to admire; they dish out almost 29 assists per game!

On the other hand, we have our struggling Hornets sitting at just 12-36. Ouch! They’ve lost six straight games and are looking for any glimmer of hope right now. Their offense is averaging only about 107 points per game with a shooting percentage that hovers around 43%. Not great numbers if you ask me! And while they do manage to grab nearly 46 rebounds per game, their defense has been shaky at best.

Now let’s talk about that spread—oddsmakers opened it up with San Antonio as -11-point favorites. Given how Charlotte has performed recently (0-5 SU in their last five home games), I think it’s safe to say that the Spurs will not only win but also cover that spread tonight. The Hornets’ struggles are real; they just can’t seem to find their rhythm on either end of the court.

As for total points? Well, both teams have shown tendencies towards lower-scoring affairs lately—especially Charlotte who has seen six of their last eight games go UNDER. So I’m leaning towards this one being under as well.

In summary: I predict that the Spurs will take this one convincingly over the Hornets tonight while covering that hefty spread. Expect some solid offensive play from San Antonio and perhaps some defensive lapses from Charlotte leading us toward an UNDER total score.

So grab your lucky jersey (you know I’ll be rocking mine!), settle in with your favorite snacks, and get ready for what should be an exciting night of basketball action! Go Spurs Go!
