Charlotte at Brooklyn

After playing the Warriors and Rockets close the last two games, Charlotte catches a break. They are in a battle for the final playoff spot in the East. They are a dog to a Brooklyn squad on a 4-7 straight-up slide, losing twice as chalk, and getting roasted by Washington the last game as a home favorite, 125-116. The Nets have failed to cover in five of their last seven home contests. Brooklyn has won two meetings this season by two points each time, including a double-OT game, while Charlotte rolled 100-87. With the underdog 12-5 ATS when these teams clash, look for another close one and back the hungry dog. Play Charlotte.
