Charlotte Hornets 2026 season recap

Longest run of overs: 4 · longest run of unders: 7

Season at a glance

A 23-44 under/over split on 67 games with market totals defined the Hornets' year — just 34.3% of their games cleared the over line. Charlotte finished 45-39 with an average combined total of 227.3 points, anchored by a 100-point spread between their lowest-scoring game (181) and highest (281). The standard deviation of 19.0 reflected moderate volatility across the season, with their longest over run lasting just 4 straight games while their unders stretched to 7 consecutive contests.

Scoring and totals profile

Games ranged from a 181-point low on January 21 against Cleveland to a 281-point high on November 14 at Milwaukee, leaving a stark 100-point gap between extremes. The 227.3 average held relatively steady throughout the year, though the distribution tilted heavily toward unders — the 23-44 record across 67 graded games reflected that skew. Charlotte's longest under stretch of 7 straight games proved far more durable than their best over run of 4 consecutive contests, illustrating how the season's totals landscape favored defensive or slower-paced basketball.

Home and road splits

The Hornets went 22-20 at home and 23-19 on the road, nearly identical records that masked minimal differences in scoring volume. Home games averaged 226.8 combined points and finished 12-22 to the over/under; road games averaged 227.8 and went 11-22 over/under. Both environments produced nearly identical over/under splits and scoring averages, suggesting that location had little bearing on how games landed relative to the market total.

How the season unfolded

October offered no market totals to grade, though the five games averaged 248.4 points — a high-scoring start that did not sustain. November cratered the over/under to 0-3, with an average of 231.9 points signaling a shift toward lower-scoring contests. December stabilized at 5-8 over/under and 232.8 average, but January surged to 11-6 with 223.2 average combined points, the team's strongest month in wins. February continued the trend at 8-3 with a 221.2 average, then March reversed course — the Hornets went 10-5 but slumped to 3-12 over/under as the average dipped to 221.1, the season's lowest. April finished 4-4 over/under at 225.5 average, leaving the year shaped by a brutal fall in overs and a late-season tilt toward unders.
