Charlotte Hornets 2026 season recap
Longest run of overs: 1 · longest run of unders: 6
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.
| Split | Games | Record | O/U | Avg total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 4 | 2-2 | 1-3 | 210.8 |
| Road | 3 | 1-2 | 0-3 | 211.7 |
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.
