Brooklyn at Charlotte

The Brooklyn Nets and the Charlotte Hornets were both playoff teams last year and both appeared to be teams on the rise. Here we are late in the season, and if it ended today, neither would be in the playoffs. One of the biggest weaknesses of both of these teams has been three-point shooting as they both enter connecting at under 33% for the year. That sets the stage for  a situation that plays on losing teams facing each other that connect on less than 33% each from deep. This situation has been a huge over indicator at 163-101 to the OVER since 1996. Brooklyn comes in at 4-0-1 to the OVER in their last five vs. a losing team. Charlotte is 6-0-1 to the OVER in their last seven vs. a losing team, and none of the last seven meetings between these clubs have stayed UNDER the total. Make the play on the OVER.
