Prop Bets: San Antonio Spurs VS Charlotte Hornets 2025-07-17
Spurs vs. Hornets NBA Summer League Prediction: A Tale of Two Tactics
The San Antonio Spurs (undefeated) and Charlotte Hornets (undefeated) collide in a summer league clash thatâs less âMarch Madnessâ and more âJuly Absence of Madness.â Hereâs the breakdown, served with a side of sarcasm and a sprinkle of stats:
Key Stats & Odds
- Moneyline:
- Spurs: +220 (implied probability: 31.25%)
- Hornets: -170 (implied probability: 62.96%)
- Spreads:
- Hornets -2.5 (-110)
- Spurs +2.5 (-110)
- Totals: 182.5 (Even money on Over/Under)
Why the Hornets Might Shock You
The Hornets, led by No. 4 pick Kon Knueppel and explosive scorer Tidjane Salaun, have the Summer Leagueâs most entertaining offense. Theyâve beaten the Mavs by 18 and survived two nail-bitersâproof theyâre built for chaos. Meanwhile, the Spurs are playing 2K26 on medium difficulty: âDefense: Locked at 11/10. Offense: Auto-save your progress.â
Plot twist: The Spurs have shelved No. 2 pick Dylan Harper for the rest of the summer. Translation: Their âunbeaten streakâ might hinge on whether they let their actual players compete. If they bench more stars, this becomes a Hornets playoff preview.
Prop Bets to Mock Your Friends With
1. Will Dylan Harper Stay on the Bench?
- Yes (+100) / No (-150)
(Spoiler: Yes. The Spurs love turning their top pick into a human statue.)
- Tidjane Salaun Over/Under 18.5 Points
- Over (-180) / Under (+140)
(Bet Under if you believe in âstat paddingâ as a lost art.)
- David Jones-Garcia 3-Pointers Made
- Over 2.5 (-200) / Under 2.5 (+150)
(The Spursâ âsharpshooterâ has the accuracy of a squirrel with a slingshot.)
Final Verdict
The Hornets (-2.5) are the statistical favorite, but the Spurs (+2.5) are the dramatic favorite. This game will either be a Spurs romp (if they play) or a Hornets comeback (if they donât). For maximum chaos, take the Over 182.5âsummer league is where point totals go to die.
Prediction: Hornets win 86-83, Dylan Harper chills on the bench, and someone trips over the 3-point line. Again.
Place your bets. Then cry when the Spurs bench their entire roster in the 4th quarter. đđ¸
