Charlotte Hornets vs Utah Jazz – 16h00 03/25/2022 [PT]: Expect surprise from the East Coast challenger.
The victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in the last round was the 5th consecutive victory of LaMelo Ball and his teammates, thereby retaining their slim chance for a position in the East Coast Playoff this season. The Bees will face off against an unstable Utah Jazz in the last 10 matches, with mixed joys and sorrows. The opportunity for the Hornets to get a 6th consecutive victory is possible when the Jazz is having a bad record and large loss of force.
The Charlotte Hornets are currently in 9th place in the Eastern standings with 37 wins after 72 matches played. They have won 7 in the last 10 matches, although the next schedule is not easy. Utah Jazz has just received a painful defeat against the Brooklyn Nets away from home, ending a streak of 3 consecutive victories achieved in the previous week. Gobert is in bad form towards the end of the season, Bogdanovic has not set a return date due to injury. This will affect Jazz’s power in the remaining matches.
Charlotte Hornets vs Utah Jazz Handicap
- Quarter 1: Utah Jazz

- Quarter 4: Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets have often been underrated by the Utah Jazz in recent seasons, with 8 defeats in the last 10 games. In the first clash at the end of December last year, Michell and his teammates had an easy victory at home against the opponent with a score of 112-102. This dominance probably will not be repeated in the upcoming rematch, when Jazz’s performance is unstable, and the opponent is playing explosively with great advantage at home. Charlotte has continued to witness the brilliance of the Big Three: Bridges – Rozier – Ball in the recent series of matches. They had the confidence and some luck to finish the opponent in the decisive moments. With a highly-skilled squad, the Bees don’t hesitate to face a formidable opponent when their morale is high. Jazz no longer retains its hegemony in the annual season this season, when the performance of the pillars is no longer at its best. A top Center in the NBA like Rudy Gobert has been a big disappointment in the last game, scoring only 11 points and 4 rebounds in his time on the field, a limited contribution. The Hornets can make a difference in the upcoming encounter when there are many factors in favor of this team such as defense, terrain, and spirit.
The Charlotte Hornets still possess an impressive offensive line in the last 10 matches, with an average of 119.7 points scored. Utah Jazz showed its strength in defense with a loss of only 105.4 in the same series. The upcoming match maybe towards the Under.
