Washington at Charlotte

January 24, 2026
img12:00 PM Eastern

The Wizards don't win, and they have rarely been covering point spreads lately either. Washington has lost eight consecutive games, going 2-6 ATS. All but two of these games have been double-digit losses. The Wizards have the worst record and the worst point differential in the league. What little focus they have is probably going to be lost here, given the concern about getting back home safely before the impending winter storm hits. That's why the start time of this matchup was moved way up. The Hornets are 6-5 in their last 11 games. They have put together some impressive road wins lately, beating the Lakers and Nuggets. Now they are home. Charlotte is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games. The Hornets surrender nearly nine points less per game than the Wizards, who rank second-to-last defensively. The Wizards have failed to break 107 points in five of their last seven games. Take the Hornets.
