Hornets vs. Suns Prediction: Charlotte’s Absences Favor Phoenix
Analysis updated November 12, 2026 at 2:06 AM CST
Charlotte will be without Kon Knueppel, Brandon Miller, and Dennis Schroder, making Phoenix the likelier winner. The Suns’ -244 moneyline and -6.5 spread are less appealing without verified form or lineup data.
Charlotte’s absences favor Phoenix
The NBA injury report lists Charlotte’s Kon Knueppel, Brandon Miller, and Dennis Schroder as out. Moussa Diabate and Grant Williams are probable, but the three confirmed absences make it harder to back the Hornets at Phoenix.
Phoenix is -244 on the moneyline and favored by 6.5 points, while Charlotte is +201. The injury gap supports Phoenix as the likely winner, but the available evidence doesn’t show whether the Suns should be priced this heavily. Phoenix’s Mark Williams is also out following left shoulder surgery.
Why the wager is a pass
There are no verified records, recent results, expected starters, or team statistics to judge either side against the 6.5-point spread. Charlotte’s injuries weaken the underdog, but missing information isn’t a reason to lay a steep price with Phoenix.
The total is 214.5, with the over at -107 and the under at -113. Without pace, efficiency, or recent scoring data, neither total has a clear betting case.
