There are a few options for this game, but what I consider by far the best is the under of hosts' points, and I'll explain why. The Nets are tonight without Jeremy Lin (15 points per game) and Greivis Vasquez, which means their offense will be led by rookie Isaiah Whitehead who so far is known only be the desperate shot (35.3%), and his big number of turnovers (3.0) considering the time he's playing (13.3). Behind him is the recovered Randy Foye who will debut for the Nets, so it's hard to expect him to be brilliant. It's known that the Nets build their offense over Lopez, and that means putting the ball down into the paint, which takes a lot of time and lowers the number of possessions. On the other side, the Hornets under coach Clifford are one of the top 10 defenses of the league, and Bogdanovic will have one of the tougher match-ups (15.4 points per game) and who will be chased by Batum. Looking at offense numbers of the Nets, they went over 100 in four out of five games, but that's why the Hornets allowed over a 100 in one our of four, and that was 104 by the Celtics who are far more offensively potent team. Considering all above, I don't see the Nets above 100 today.
