Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images The BetMGM bonus code NYPDM1500 unlocks a 20 percent first deposit match once you create a new account for Suns vs. Hornets or any other NBA game.
Charlotte enters 7-3 over its last 10 and is favored by 4.5 points at home following a 117-86 flogging of the Nets.
Phoenix arrives 3-6 in its last nine, but is high on its horse after Jalen Green hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to bury the Magic 113-110.
The BetMGM bonus code NYPDM1500 offers new users a 20 percent deposit match that can get up to $1,500 in sports bonus. That means a $100 deposit right after signing up would return $20 in bonuses.
To receive the $1,500 max value, users must deposit at least $7,500.

The Hornets’ perimeter volume is carrying it this season: 16.2 made 3s per game, now facing a Suns defense that gives up 12.1.
The meeting on March 8 tilted behind Devin Booker’s 30 in a 111-99 win, but Charlotte’s profile now — top-four in the East in opponent scoring — suggests a more defensively driven script.
