Hornets Historical Numbers Against the Spread

Not a whole lot of people expected the Hornets to make the playoffs this year, but they have exceeded expectations. However, they have not been a great team to bet on this season, going 38-40-2 ATS. While the Hornets have been an above average team to bet on at home this season, they have been a below average team to bet on the road, going 18-22 ATS (12th worst in the NBA) including a 4-5 record as a road favorite. Looking at their numbers on a full day of rest, they are a much better team to bet on going 23-19-2 ATS (9th best in the NBA). Overall, this is an average spot for the Hornets to cover.
