The Hornets face another season of rebuilding after a 21-win campaign marred by injuries to LaMelo Ball, who only appeared in 22 games. While rookie Brandon Miller provided hope with his All-Rookie season, the Hornets haven’t made the playoffs in eight years. A new ownership group, led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall, hired Charles Lee as head coach and selected Tidjane Salaun with the No. 6 overall pick. The offseason also saw the return of Miles Bridges and the acquisition of Josh Green.
Bridges, re-signed despite off-court issues, remains a key piece after averaging 21 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists last season. His maturity and performance will be vital to Charlotte’s success. The 2024-25 season will largely focus on player development, especially for Ball, Miller, and Mark Williams, as the Hornets hope to build a foundation for future success.
DraftKings Sportsbook sets the Hornets’ odds at +100000 to win the NBA Finals and +50000 to win the Eastern Conference. Their regular-season win total is set at 30.5, with -105 odds for the over and -115 for the under. The team has +100000 odds for the most regular-season wins, and their conference seeding is set at 11.5. They have +165 odds to participate in the Play-In Tournament, with +500 odds to make the playoffs and -750 odds to miss them.
