Although the Hornets rank third-last in the league for average points per game, the Spurs’ defense has been extremely weak, especially in the paint after Wembanyama’s injury. With multiple dominant centers, the Hornets can easily exploit the Spurs’ poor perimeter defense. Both teams are focused on tanking and are unlikely to play with defensive intensity, making a high-scoring game likely.

Pick: Total Points Over 230.0 (bet365)
