Washington at Charlotte

Each of these teams is off to a less than impressive start, but Washington (1-5) is healthy and hanging in games with plenty of offensive punch ranked ninth in scoring (117.2 points per game) and sixth in shooting (48.6%). Teams likw Washington that are off a loss by 15 or more points are 51-18 ATS after back-to-back games where both teams scored 115+ points. Charlotte is dealing with injuries and has no deep outside game, the third-worst 3-point shooting team (30.6%). They're favored but the defense is 26th in points given up (121.7 per game), 23rd in field goal shooting allowed, and 26th at defending beyond the arc. Leading scorer Terry Rozier (22 ppg) has a right groin strain and is uncertain to take the court for the Hornets. With Charlotte 14-25 ATS versus losing teams, back the healthier visitors. Play Washington.
