Command Analysis

Charlotte Hornets

Current form
Charlotte has clearly failed to meet the expectations of its fans this season. The team occupies one of the last places in the Eastern Conference and seems to have accepted this position.
The Hornets have lost their last four games, losing to the Lakers (107:112), Brooklyn (83:104), Clippers (104:112) and Denver (104:107). The team's defense looks unconvincing, and there are obvious problems with the implementation of chances in the attack.
The main reason for such results is personnel problems. Most of the leaders missed matches due to injuries, but the infirmary is gradually emptying, which may give the team a chance to improve the game. Ahead is the home match against Washington, which is also in deep crisis.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lamelo Ball, Tre Mann, Cody Martin, Brandon Miller, Joshua Okogi and Grant Williams will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
Charlotte can't win the last four games.
Approximate composition: Green- Bridges, Williams-Micic, Smith.

Washington Wizards

Current form
Washington is going through one of the most difficult seasons in its history. The team occupies the last place in the table, and there are no prerequisites for the situation to change for the better. However, in the last round, the Wizards unexpectedly defeated Minnesota (105:103). Kyle Kuzma had a brilliant match, scoring 31 points and becoming the main hero of the match.
This victory will certainly give the team confidence, especially before the game against Charlotte, which is in a similar position. The only question is, will Washington be able to build on its success and show stability?
Disqualifications and injuries
Alexander Sarr will not be able to help his team due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
In 3 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Wizards celebrated the victory.
Approximate composition: George - Kuzma, Valanciunas - Coulibaly, Pool.

1.84Tip and bets
Charlotte has not known the taste of victory for a long time and is clearly having problems with the game. The coaching staff is trying to rebuild the team, but numerous injuries have unsettled the team. Washington unexpectedly achieved victory, which added motivation to the team. Kyle Kuzma has finally played at his level, and if he continues in the same spirit, the guests have a chance for a good result. In our opinion, the Wizards will be able to impose a fight and play with dignity, and possibly achieve a second consecutive victory.
Our forecast is that Washington will win, taking into account the handicap (+5.5) points in 1.71
Bet on the total
Both teams are competing without serious tournament motivation, so they can afford outdoor basketball. Charlotte will try to break the losing streak, and Washington will want to build on its success. We assume that the game will be productive, so we suggest betting on the total more.
Forecast - total more than 215 points in 1.73
Betting on statistics
Kyle Kuzma played one of the best matches of the season, and there is no reason to think that he will slow down. Charlotte's defense leaves much to be desired, which gives the guests the opportunity to show a good level of attack. We expect Washington to break through its individual total.
Prediction – Washington's individual total is over 105.5 points per 1.76
