The Hornets have been very inconsistent to start the regular season and they have been very bad on the road with a losing record in their road games. The Wizards will be able to pull away in this game against a Hornets side that struggles to score points on the road. The best bet to place in this game is on the Wizards to cover the spread here.

"That is something I have to look at to see if I could've kept them more in attack mode. We still want to maintain an aggressive mentality, that is what got us the lead.
