What if?
Advantages Why Hornets can win
- Recent scoring margins: worth about 2.2 points to the Hornets in our ratings.
- History: the Hornets won 4 of the last 5 meetings (rosters change, so this says little).
- Strength: the Hornets rank 1st of 30 in defensive rebounding (share of misses) (77.3%).
- Team matchup: where the Hornets can take advantage. Their ball pressure (18th of 30) meets the Nets ball security (26th), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition. And their offensive rebounding (2nd of 30) meets the Nets defensive rebounding (9th): a chance to crash the glass for second chances.
- Star matchup: no key position favors the Hornets, so they need their depth to beat the other side's stars, with Brandon Miller (20.5 pts, 4.9 reb, 3.2 ast, Game Score 13.6; filling in for Kon Knueppel, out) leading the way.
- The betting market agrees: the Hornets 55% to win after removing the sportsbooks' margin.
- Simulation: the Hornets win 5,770 of 10,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why Hornets may not
- Home court: the Nets play at home, worth about 2 points in today's NBA.
- Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations the Hornets lose by 14 or more.
- Getting to the line (free throws per shot): Nets 13th (0.22), Hornets 30th (0.16).
- Weak spot: the Hornets rank 30th of 30 in net rating (points per 100 possessions) (-11.4).
- Team matchup: where the Nets can push back. Their ball pressure (14th of 30) meets the Hornets ball security (30th), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition.
- Star matchup: Best player against best player, Michael Porter Jr. (Nets: 23.8 pts, 7.1 reb, 2.8 ast, Game Score 16.9; filling in for Nic Claxton, doubtful, not on the team's current roster) has the edge on Brandon Miller (Hornets: 20.5 pts, 4.9 reb, 3.2 ast, Game Score 13.6; filling in for Kon Knueppel, out).
- Upset odds: the Nets win 4,230 of 10,000 simulations (42%). A 58% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.
