San Antonio Spurs vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/31/26

The Charlotte Hornets are riding a 5-game winning streak ahead of their game against the San Antonio Spurs. However, 3 of those wins came against teams outside the play-in positions as of now and 1 was against a 76ers team without Joel Embiid. With the Spurs star big man in Victor Wembanyama available tonight, along with the rest of the roster apart from Jeremy Sochan, todays game could turn into a reality check for the hosts. The visitors have a strong road record this season too and are 6th in point differential in those contests too. Over the last 10 games they Spurs are 5th in defensive rating and should have a great chance of slowing down this in form Hornets team.

Over the last 10 games the Hornets are 5th in the league in points in the paint, but up against Wembanyama those will be much harder to come by. Knowing he is back there allows the Spurs to close down more aggressively on the perimeter so it’s no surprise that during that stretch they are 8th in opponent 3-pointers made. It should help them limit the contribution the hosts get from Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller. Look for the Spurs to cover the spread on the back of a strong defensive showing.
