Atlanta Hawks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Atlanta Hawks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but they struggled to put away the Nets in their opener and could’ve easily lost. The Charlotte Hornets got a fabulous performance from Ball and that will be something to keep an eye on, as they’ll have betting value if he keeps playing at a high level. The Hawks have a lot of injuries, including one of their best players Bogdanovic. It’s kind of surprising the Hawks are this big of a favorite this banged up. Give me the Hornets.
