Pre-match view
Charlotte has the better evidence after winning the first meeting and starting the season steadily, but Washington's home scoring keeps the game close and makes modest totals the more compelling read.
Charlotte's recent head-to-head win and steadier scoring give it a narrow edge, but Washington's home debut for AJ Dybantsa, Justin Champagnie's absence and the unresolved statuses of Dennis Schröder and Naz Reid leave both rotations unsettled enough to blur the picture.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
