Kon Knueppel o20.5 Points Scored (-110)
Rookie Kon Knueppel has scored at least 21 points in each of his last four games, with Charlotte winning three straight.
CHA -8.0 (-110)
After a slow start, the Charlotte Hornets have done a complete 180, and they’ll have no problem covering a modest spread at home. Over the last 20 games, Charlotte’s 15-5 ATS record is best in the Association, and its 9.5 point differential per game is second best.

o119.5 Team Total (-115)
After back-to-back outings against the elite Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs defenses, the Raptors will see no such nightmares tonight in D.C. The Wizards have been consistently woeful on that end of the floor, giving up 118+ points in seven of their past eight contests – and 126+ points in five of those outings.
Sure, Toronto has its offensive shortcomings, but Darko Rajakovic’s squad dropped 140 points on Washington in November. The Wizards serve up the third-most turnovers per game, while the Raptors force 15 a night. Those easy buckets should keep this team total Over in play.
