Hornets vs Hawks Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
ATL Hawks Win(+110)

The Charlotte Hornets are the hottest team in the Eastern Conference. They have won eight straight games, and they will be looking to make it nine straight against the new-look Atlanta Hawks tonight. The Hornets have found their groove, picking up impressive wins in this streak against teams like the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets. The Hornets look to win games by putting a large number of points on the scoreboard. They are led by four main scorers. Brandon Miller leads the team in scoring with 20.4 points per game, while Lamelo Ball averages 19.1 points, Kon Knueppel averages 18.8 points, and Miles Bridges averages 18.3 points. The emergence of Knueppel has propelled Charlotte into one of the top three-point shooting teams in the NBA. The Hornets make the third highest number of threes a game at 15.2, and they shoot it at the sixth best percentage at 37%. Individually, Knueppel ranks third in the NBA with 168 made threes this season. For Atlanta, it has been a month since they traded away Trae Young and added Cj McCollum. McCollum has averaged 17.5 points per game in his last ten games, and he has done it all while coming off the bench. The latest Hawks’ trade was bringing in Jonathan Kuminga. Kuminga is not expected to make his debut tonight. The Hawks are fueled by first time all star Jalen Johnson. Johnson averages a team high 23.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game this season. Johnson has led the Hawks to an impressive streak of their own, winning six of their last eight games. The Hornets have been hot, but so have the Hawks. I’m leaning towards the Hawks tonight on their home floor, a place the Hornets have lost their last three times visiting. 

Hawks +110 is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
