Wizards’ first win of the season against Charlotte?

The NBA doesn’t take a break next night either: Among other things, the Washington Wizards face off against Charlotte Hornets. The teams are neighbours in the middle of the Eastern Conference table. Which NBA tip does the betting base have ready for the game on 04.01.2022 in the capital?

Washington Wizards – Statistics & current form

The basketball players from DC have their best shooter back on board with Bradley Beal since the penultimate game day. Last season’s All-Star showed his usual strength in his comeback against Cleveland: With 29 points and ten assists, he was the best scorer in both categories for the team of head coach Wes Unseld Jr.

Beal also delivered a strong performance in the last game with two points less, but the Bulls still suffered a narrow 119-120 home defeat against the East leaders from Chicago thanks to the second buzzer beater in a row by DeMar DeRozan.

The Wizards will nevertheless rely on the home bonus in the upcoming match: Although the loss to the basketballers from the Windy City was the fourth defeat in the past five home games, Washington still has a 60 percent win rate in front of its own crowd.

Besides Beal, Kyle Kuzma has also been a reliable player for the Wizards: In more than a third of his league games, the former Lakers player has recorded a double-double in points and rebounds.

Charlotte Hornets – Statistics & current form

The players of the North Carolina franchise will come up a bit tired. Unlike Washington, they have to play a back-to-back and last night they faced a tough opponent in Phoenix. They suffered a surprisingly clear defeat against the basket ball hunters from the Valley with a 34 point difference.

For the team of head coach James Borrego, this ended a series of three victories. Especially the offense, which is ranked third in the NBA after Utah and Atlanta, was disappointing. At least Miles Bridges, an important player, returned to the squad after quarantine, which has brightened up the personnel situation.

Washington Wizards – Charlotte Hornets Tip

This is the third time this season that the Wizards have faced off against the Charlotte Hornets. Now, however, the chances are quite good for a home victory.

The in-form home side only just lost to the first-placed team from the East, Chicago, while the visitors suffered a blowout against the second-placed team from the West, Phoenix.

Furthermore, the hosts are fresher as their opponents have to play a back-to-back. For the game between the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets, the forecast includes a double-double by Kyle Kuzma on the side of the D.C. franchise.

The newcomer from the Lakers has been particularly convincing lately: He has delivered four double-doubles in points and rebounds in the last five games! Bet365 offers betting odds of 2.60 on the clash between the Wizards and Hornets.
