  • ATS Value: Charlotte has been strong against the spread as an underdog, particularly in the +4 to +5 range.

  • Clippers’ ATS Weakness: Los Angeles has struggled to cover when favored by 4.5+ points this season.
  • Recent Form: The Hornets are coming off high-energy performances, including decisive wins that show scoring depth and competitiveness.
  • Game Script Fit: This projects as a close, competitive game; +4.5 provides a meaningful cushion even if the Clippers win.
  • Market Angle: Several models and betting indexes favor Charlotte to cover despite LAC being the moneyline favorite.

Bottom line: You’re not betting on a Hornets win-you're betting on a tight game, and the numbers support Hornets +4.5 as a value spread play.



Hornets +4.5
