Hornets vs. Nets Odds & Betting Predictions - November 20, 2024

This is a tremendous rebounding matchup. A case can be made for any of the Charlotte starters, but I see Williams as the best value. Brooklyn is 26th in rebounding rate. Nic Claxton (ruled out) is the only reason Brooklyn isn't the worst rebounding team in the league. With Claxton on the floor, the Nets have a solid 51.2% rebounding rate. That would be a top-10 mark on the season. With Claxton on the bench, Brooklyn plummets to a 45.8% rebounding rate, which would rank dead last. Nick Richards was knocked out of a November 1st game against Boston with a shoulder injury. Williams emerged for 30 minutes off the bench and has maintained a solid role with the starting center sidelined. Since Richards went down, Williams has averaged 5.9 rebounds on 12.2 rebound chances across 30.9 minutes per game. He's started the past 3 games and bumped the rebounding up to 6.7 boards a night. The matchup against Ben Simmons should solidify the minutes for Williams. Brooklyn doesn't have a true center to negate Charlotte's small-ball lineup.
