Nets vs Hornets Prediction 5 November 2026
🏀 The Brooklyn Nets face the Charlotte Hornets in an NBA regular-season game. Both teams have struggled offensively of late, and there is little reason to expect either side to suddenly pick up the pace. Expect a low-scoring contest.
Head-to-Head
📊 The teams last met early in the season, when Charlotte Hornets won 110-103 on the road. Charlotte Hornets have also had the edge in their last five head-to-head meetings, winning three to Brooklyn Nets’ two.

Brooklyn Nets: A Focus on Stifling Defense
The hosts have struggled at the start of the season, losing four of their first five games. They recently fell to New York 103-90. Despite those defeats, the Nets have shown a willingness to slow games down and defend well. The sample size is still small, so the 116 points they have conceded per game may not reflect their true defensive level. They held Indiana to 90 points in a 98-90 win, showing they can keep the scoring down.
Brooklyn Nets have more significant problems on offence. They are averaging 108.2 points per game, partly because they play at one of the slowest paces in the league. That is unlikely to change overnight. Porter and Randle are capable players who can put up strong individual numbers, but Brooklyn Nets are not a particularly imposing offensive unit.

Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte Hornets have lost four straight, most recently falling 124-91 to Detroit. They have topped 100 points just once during that stretch. Right now, they are the league’s lowest-scoring team at 98.3 points per game. Their shooting has been poor overall (40.8%), and even worse from three-point range (29.5%). They still have plenty of problems creating shots, and their lack of chemistry is showing.
The visitors may look to make defence their priority in this matchup. Brooklyn Nets can be contained, and they prefer to play at a slow pace, which should suit Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets concede around 106.4 points per game, have size in their lineup, and several players are showing real commitment. That could translate into an effective defensive performance in the upcoming game.
Total points prediction
Under 215.5 points has landed in 12 of Charlotte Hornets’ last 13 games. On the road, they average 93.8 points scored and 105.2 conceded. The counterargument is that Brooklyn Nets average 105 points scored and 116 conceded at home, so the under is far from a certainty. Our pick is under 215.5 total points at odds of 1.81*.
Reliable Bet
Brooklyn Nets have scored fewer than 114.5 points in six straight home games. They average 105 points at home, while Charlotte Hornets allow an average of 105.2 points on the road. We’re backing Brooklyn Nets under 114.5 team points at odds of 1.27*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary between sportsbooks.
⭐ Our Prediction
Bookmakers give the Charlotte Hornets a slight edge, and their roster looks stronger on paper. But the Brooklyn Nets are at home, and despite a run of defeats, they have continued to play attractive basketball. They are making tactical progress and should be solid defensively. The Hornets are also likely to slow the pace and focus on disrupting the Nets’ offense. Our pick is under 217.5 total points.
