Charlotte won the first meeting 99-88 on Jan. 12 and the Hornets have covered five of the last seven meetings. They come off a 109-103 loss at Portland in overtime while Utah is playing its first home game following a four-game trip in which the Jazz won all four. The Hornets trailed by 14 points entering the third quarter against the Trail Blazers and made a strong comeback as Kemba Walker finished with 40 points, but the Hornets came up just short. The Jazz is just 8-17 ATS its last 25 games with one day of rest and this is a letdown spot coming home after a successful road trip. The points loom large in this matchup, so go with the road underdog Hornets.
