Hornets vs. Spurs Prediction, Spread, Over/Under
The Spurs sport a 7.5-game lead for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, and they sit only 3.5 games behind the Thunder for the top spot.
Spurs PF/C Victor Wembanyama is the heartbeat of this team, ranking 17th in the league for points per game (24.2) and fifth in rebounds per game (11.1). His status for today’s game is uncertain, as he missed San Antonio’s previous matchup vs. the Nuggets with an ankle injury. The Spurs missed his presence as Denver secured a 136-131 win, snapping San Antonio’s five-game winning streak.
The Hornets are one of the more exciting stories of the 2025-26 NBA season. They struggled to begin the season, but they've stacked an 18-5 record since January 22 — tied with the Spurs for the most wins during this span.
Charlotte currently holds the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference, which would put them in the Play-In Tournament. It still has a chance to climb the standings, only four games behind the No. 6 seed.
