The Charlotte Hornets entered the All Star break with a losing record overall, but they own a solid 19-9 SU (16-12 ATS) record home at Spectrum Center and are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 Friday night games. Charlotte is expecting to get a boost from the return of veteran point guard Tony Parker who missed four games before the break because of back soreness.

Here they'll host a Washington team that has dropped seven of its last 10 overall and is an atrocious 4-22 ATS in its last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The Wizards won the first meeting of the season 130-126 home at Washington on Dec 29. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and I expect Charlotte to be fired up and get revenge tonight.

8* play on Charlotte Hornets.
