We’ve got another exciting Eastern Conference contest on Wednesday’s NBA schedule as the Charlotte Hornets will host the Brooklyn Nets. Charlotte is 12-31 overall and 8-15 at home, while Brooklyn is 14-33 overall and 9-17 on the road. The Nets defeated the Hornets, 116-115, on Nov. 19 in Brooklyn in their first meeting this season after the Hornets won two of their three matchups last year.
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C. The Hornets are favored by 3 points in the latest Hornets vs. Nets odds, according to the SportsLine consensus. The over/under is 204.5 points. Before entering any Nets vs. Hornets picks, you’ll want to see the NBA predictions from the model at SportsLine.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in betting profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past six-plus seasons. The model enters Week 15 of the 2024-25 NBA season on a sizzling 140-100 roll on all top-rated NBA picks dating back to last season, returning well over $3,000. Anyone following at sportsbooks and on betting apps could have seen huge returns.
The Nets enter on a seven-game losing streak, but they did cover twice as they were underdogs in each of those contests. Six of those seven games came against teams currently in the top eight of their conference and the Hornets certainly aren’t in that situation. Charlotte is one of the few teams in the NBA with a worse record than the Nets and the Hornets’ injury situation is just as brutal as Brooklyn’s.
The Nets will be without Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Cameron Johnson (ankle) as their top two leading scorers this season. But the Hornets will also be without some of their top talent, including LaMelo Ball (ankle), Brandon Miller (wrist), Mark Williams (foot) and Tre Mann (back) as four of their top five leading scorers. D’Angelo Russell has led the Nets in scoring in back-to-back games with 19 and 22 points and Jalen Wilson, a second-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has scored more than 10 points in three straight points as a complimentary piece for Brooklyn. See which team to pick here.
Why the Hornets can cover
With both teams battling significant injuries, the Hornets have the luxury of arguably the best player on the floor in Miles Bridges. The No. 12 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft is averaging 18.9 ppg this season after back-to-back years averaging more than 20 ppg. He had 26 points, eight rebounds and four assists in a 112-107 loss to the Lakers on Monday as he was needed to take on a larger role with Ball only playing nine minutes before suffering his ankle injury. The Hornets pushed in their 5-point spread against Los Angeles.
The Hornets are 28th in the league in scoring but have the 14th-best scoring defense, allowing 112.2 ppg, and a strong defensive effort could be enough to extend Brooklyn’s losing streak. The Nets are 29th in scoring offense (105.5 ppg) and have been held to fewer than 100 points in four straight games and haven’t scored more than 101 points in seven straight contests. The Nets have been abysmal offensively lately and the Hornets defense can capitalize on that on Wednesday. See which team to pick here.
How to make Nets vs. Hornets picks
The model has simulated Hornets vs. Nets 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you that the model is leaning Under, and it’s also generated a point-spread pick that is hitting almost 70% of simulations. You can only see the pick at SportsLine.
Are you ready for some NBA action? The Brooklyn Nets will face off against the Charlotte Hornets on January 29, and the odds are in favor of the Nets. According to a proven model, the Nets are the favorites to win this matchup.
The Nets, led by their superstar duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, have been on a roll this season and are currently one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. On the other hand, the Hornets have been struggling a bit and will need to bring their A-game to compete with the Nets.
In terms of the score prediction, the model suggests that the Nets will come out on top with a comfortable lead. The final score is expected to be in favor of the Nets, with a predicted score of 115-105.
If you’re looking to place some bets on this game, the best bets according to the model are to take the Nets to cover the spread and to bet on the over for the total points scored in the game.
So mark your calendars for January 29 and get ready to watch an exciting matchup between the Nets and the Hornets. And if you’re feeling lucky, consider placing a bet on the Nets to come out victorious. Good luck!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “udder” originates from the Old English ūder, which in turn comes from Proto-Germanic ūđrą. This is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root h₁ówHdʰr̥, meaning “udder” or “milk.” Cognates include Old High German ūtar, Dutch uier, and Sanskrit ūdhar (udder). The term has maintained a consistent reference to the milk-producing organ of animals throughout its linguistic evolution.
Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that’s captured the public’s attention. The game is all about finding the “common threads between words.” And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we’ve served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.
If you just want to be told today’s puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today’s Connections solution. But if you’d rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.
The NYT‘s latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications’ Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.
Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there’s only one correct answer.
If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.
Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Are you ready to tackle the New York Times Connections puzzle? Here are some hints and answers to help you solve puzzle #598:
Hints:
1. The theme for this puzzle is “Odd One Out.” Look for the word or phrase that does not fit with the others in each group.
2. Pay attention to the number of letters in each word or phrase, as well as any common themes or similarities.
3. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and consider alternative interpretations of the clues.
Answers:
1. Apple, Orange, Banana, Grapefruit – The odd one out is Grapefruit, as it is the only citrus fruit.
2. Dog, Cat, Hamster, Parrot – The odd one out is Hamster, as it is the only rodent.
3. Spring, Summer, Fall, March – The odd one out is March, as it is the only specific month.
4. Square, Circle, Triangle, Rectangle – The odd one out is Circle, as it is the only shape without straight sides.
It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means: it’s time for another round of Connections!
Over in our little* discussion group on Discord (more on that in a second), a few folks have started sharing their results from Lingule, another daily word game. The idea with that one is to identify the language — or variant thereof — that a certain word stems from. It’s pretty enjoyable! I learn a little something from it. I think you might like it too.
*Not so little anymore. More than 500 of you have joined us in the two months or so it’s been up and running. Wowzers.
On that note, I’ve set up a discussion group for Connections and this column on Discord. You can chat about each game (and other topics) with me and other folks. I’m always interested to find out how other people approach the game, so join us! It’s fun.
It’s also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare(!) occasions that I mess something up.
Today’s NYTConnections hints and answers for Wednesday, January 29, are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT website or Games app.
You’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part.
There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.
If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication’s Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed.
Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find my hints for each grid via Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query.

What Are Today’s Connections Answers?
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.
This is your final warning!
Today’s Connections answers are…
Yellow group — owned (BORE, HAD, HELD, POSSESSED)
Green group — things you might do in your sleep (DREAM, DROOL, SNORE, TALK)
Blue group — movie series with 2024 releases (ALIEN, GLADIATOR, VENOM, WICKED)
Purple group — ____ house (FULL, GINGERBREAD, HAUNTED, WHITE)
A whopping 14 straight perfect games means my streak now sits at 17 games. Here’s how I fared:
An identical result to yesterday’s, weirdly enough.
I wasn’t sure if VENOM had received any Academy Award nominations in the technical categories, because Oscar-nominated movies was my first instinct for that, WICKED, GLADIATOR and ALIEN. But they’re also all the first entries in franchises (especially if you consider WICKED as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz), so I was reasonably confident about bunching those together. My thought process wasn’t quite right, but I’ll take the blues.
The greens then jumped out at me. I don’t remember my DREAMs very often but I have been told I talk in my sleep.
The HAUNTED and POSESSED red herring tripped me up for a while, until I realized the link between the former and GINGERBREAD that gave me the purple words. FULL house could be a reference to wither poker of the sitcom of the same name.
I figured out the yellow connection as well after mentally divorcing POSSESSED from HAUNTED and realized BORE probably didn’t have anything to do with drilling.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Thursday’s game if you need them.
P.S. I was tempted to recommend “Our House” by the brilliant Madness given today’s purple group, but no, I’ll stick with this week’s dance music theme.
But since we have some movies in the mix, let’s go with a tune from one of my favorite opening scenes of any film. I’ll never forget that bloodbath sequence in Blade, nor will I Pump Panel’s remix of “Confusion” by New Order:
In case you’re wondering, here’s the original song:
It’s so different!
Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Call someone you love!
