Medium confidence

Medium: the favourite is at least 62%.

Why

Charlotte Hornets' higher Elo rating (1524 vs 1346) and Charlotte Hornets' road form (+7.9 average margin away) drive most of this prediction towards Charlotte Hornets. Brooklyn Nets' better point margin this season (-11.0 vs -8.1 per game) pulls the other way.
