Analysis
The rest advantage heavily favors Charlotte in this spot, as back-to-back games typically result in 3-5 fewer points scored and decreased shooting efficiency for the fatigued team. Point spread analysis suggests the Hornets' current momentum, combined with New Orleans' travel situation, creates significant value. Charlotte's explosive offensive form meets New Orleans' defensive struggles at the perfect time. The home court advantage becomes amplified when the visiting team is playing consecutive nights. This rest advantage scenario has historically been profitable for the well-rested home team.
