Wizards get 2.5 in Charlotte, and the market's split on it.

Washington visits Charlotte on Monday with both teams at 2-1, and the market can't decide. The Hornets are -2.5 and -140 on the moneyline, but the market probability with the margin removed is only Charlotte 56%, Washington 44%. That's a coin flip dressed up as a favorite.

The case for Charlotte starts with the head-to-head: the Hornets have won all four of the last four meetings, including a 139-113 blowout on this date and a 126-109 win in December. They're on a one-game win streak and 1-1 at home. The concern is personnel: Kon Knueppel, Coby White, Grant Williams and Kylan Boswell are all out or doubtful, and Charlotte scores just 102.0 points per game while allowing 113.7.

The case for Washington is the offense. The Wizards put up 118.0 points per game and shoot 46.3% from the field, well above Charlotte's 40.7%. They're 1-0 on the road, 2-1 against the spread, and 2-1 on the moneyline. The worry is the other end: they allow 116.0 points per game, and they've lost all four recent meetings with Charlotte. AJ Dybantsa, Tristan Vukcevic and Jamir Watkins are out or doubtful.

The number hasn't moved. The spread opened at Charlotte -2.5 and sits at -2.5. The total opened at 228.5 and sits at 228.5. The best moneyline price on Charlotte is -139 at MyBookie.ag; on Washington it's +120 at BetAnything. The best spread price on both sides is -110 at BetAnything. On the total, Bovada has 228, while the other books are at 228.5 with over and under both -110 at BetAnything.

GODDS has no pick on this game. No side reaches 70% in the model. If you have a read, the best numbers are -139 on Charlotte at MyBookie.ag and +120 on Washington at BetAnything.
