Charlotte won its third in a row with a thrilling 129-128 double overtime win at Sacramento on Monday night. Troy Daniels scored 28 points for the Hornets, including a clutch three-pointer in the waning seconds of the second overtime that proved to be the dagger. Kemba Walker added 24 points and Jeremy Lin finished with 20 points and 11 assists. Three of Charlotte's last five games have gone to overtime and the Hornets won all three. Utah has lost five of its last seven games after a 95-92 defeat at the hands of Detroit. Rodney Hood and Gordon Hayward scored 23 and 22 points, respectively, but the Jazz shot just 40 percent form the field overall. The Hornets are 4-1 ATS their last five games while the Jazz are 2-5 ATS its last seven contests. Also, Charlotte is 4-1 ATS with one day of rest. The hotter team is getting too many points in this matchup, so play the Hornets.
