Charlotte Hornets 2021-22 Season

The Charlotte Hornets arrived to the 2021-22 season with some excitement. Their young core, led by LaMello Ball, was thought to be a potential force that could make some noise in a playoff series. The biggest question was whether or not this relatively inexperienced group of players could remain consistent winners throughout the year to earn a postseason berth. So far, so good. The Hornets have been hovering around the play-in tournament spots for most of the season, but do not find themselves out of reach from avoiding the tournament altogether.

The Hornets still have a lot of work to do, though, heading into the second half of the season. The Southeast Division title is likely not in reach this year, but a playoff run is still well within sight if they can put together a strong second half of the season.

Keeps tabs on the Charlotte Hornets as they fight to keep hold of a playoff spot for 2022.

Betting on the Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets are a bubble team to make the 2022 NBA Playoffs, so every game counts for this young squad. Here are some of the popular bet types that you can make on the Hornets if you live in a legal sports betting state.

• Moneyline
• Point Spread
• Over/Under
• Props
• Futures Odds

Hornets Moneyline

A moneyline bet requires a bettor to correctly pick the winner of the game. If you pick the winner of the game correctly, you will win the bet. How much you win will be determined by your wager amount and the associated moneyline for the team you bet on. Here's an example using a recent Hornets game against the Heat.

• Heat -182 moneyline
• Hornets +150 moneyline

Miami is the team favored to win this game, which is indicated by the minus sign (-) next to their moneyline. Charlotte is the underdog denoted by the plus sign (+) next to their moneyline. The moneyline number signifies the potential payout for each team. Someone betting on Miami would have to bet $182 to win $100 whereas a bettor would win $150 with a wager of $100 on Charlotte.

Hornets Point Spread

Users can also place a point spread wager on the Charlotte Hornets. This requires a bettor to correctly select the margin of victory by a particular team, rather than simply who wins. Here's the same Hornets vs. Heat matchup as an example.

• Heat -4.5 (-113)
• Hornets +4.5 (-108)

Oddsmakers set a margin of victory total known as the spread. In this game, Miami has to win by 5 or more points to beat this spread and Charlotte either has to win the game outright or lose by 4 points or less to beat the spread. Point spreads also have an additional element known as juice, or the vig, which is the tax paid to the sportsbook for each bet. The juice is indicated next to the point spread. This number is used to determine a wager payout. For a bet on the Heat, a bettor would earn a profit of $100 for every $113 risked. Someone betting on Charlotte would also earn a profit of $100 for every $108 risked.

Hornets Over/Unders

Betting on over/under totals looks at the cumulative final score between two teams, not the winner or loser of the game. Bettors are required to accurately predict if the teams combine higher or lower than a number set by oddsmakers. Oddsmakers set the over/under total for Hornets vs. Heat at 227.5 points.

• Over 227.5 points (-109)
• Under 227.5 points (-110)

Again, juice or vig comes into play with over/unders. Betting over 227.5 points means in this case that a bettor would have to wager $109 to earn $100. Betting under 227.5 points would mean a bettors would earn $100 for every $110 risked.

Hornets Prop Bets

For those Charlotte Hornets fans that have a particular favorite player, prop bets are a great way to bet on them. Oddsmakers will also set lines on player statistics. Bettors then have the opportunity to guess whether those players will go over or under the set line to win money. Some popular prop bets include how many points a player will score, who will score first, how many rebounds a player gets, and many more.

Hornets Future Odds

Futures are bets that focus on long-term outcomes, like the Hornets to make the playoffs, win the Southeast Division, win the Eastern Conference, win the NBA Finals, or even individual awards like LaMello Ball winning league MVP.
