We’ve been spoiled lately with potential NBA Finals matchups and wild finishes. There’s always a chance we get an instant classic (maybe Cleveland Cavaliers at Memphis Grizzlies?), but Friday’s slate doesn’t exactly scream “must-watch.

Tonight, the Charlotte Hornets will have the chance to sweep a season series as they take on the banged-up San Antonio Spurs on the road. The Spurs are without Victor Wembanyama for the season and just lost star guard De'Aaron Fox for the year due to finger surgery.

We’re back with another betting prediction and pick in the NBA as we take a look at this next cross-conference matchup between teams desperate for a win. The Charlotte Hornets (16-49) will visit the San Antonio Spurs (27-37) with Charlotte leading the season series at 1-0.

Evan Mobley had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Darius Garland added 20 points and nine assists and the Cleveland Cavaliers recorded a franchise-record 16th straight victory with a 133-124 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.
