Match analysis

Charlotte beat Washington 110-103 at home on 26 October, a 213-point game, and the rematch in Washington on Friday carries Under 245.5 points, Including Overtime, on the back of a Hornets attack averaging 100.3. Superior projects a 113-110 Wizards win.

Charlotte's last five never passed 225

The Hornets' last five finished on 213, 225, 209, 213 and 214 points, a run that includes the 128-81 game Atlanta won in Charlotte and a 115-110 win over Miami. Washington score more, 113.8 a game, yet the four meetings since December 2025 totalled 213, 241, 234 and 235, all short of this line. The one big night between them came in October 2025, 139-113 to Charlotte in Washington, 252 points, and nothing since has topped 241. Charlotte allow 111.0 a game and kept four of their last five opponents to 116 or fewer. Both teams have had four days off since the 26 October game, so tiredness favours neither attack.
