Even without Collin Sexton and LaMelo Ball, the Hornets secured an excellent victory at Rocket Arena, defeating the Cavaliers, despite Charlotte's heavy underdog status in the betting odds. On Thursday, the Hornets aim to win two consecutive games for the first time in December when they host the Hawks at the Spectrum Center.

Despite the absence of Porzingis and Trae Young, the Hawks discovered another formidable player in Jalen Johnson. Atlanta's number one jersey has had a phenomenal season and contributed a triple-double: 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists in the Hawks' 120-117 victory over the 76ers on December 14. Incredibly, it was Jalen Johnson's fourth consecutive triple-double, more than proving his worth as a first-round draft pick, and only an average of 8.2 assists per game prevents him from averaging a triple-double per game, as Jokic would.

Furthermore, against Philadelphia for Atlanta, Onyeka Okongwu was key, contributing five three-pointers and earning praise from his coach Quin Snyder, who even seems to be encouraging him to take more three-point shots.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

This is undoubtedly a matchup between teams that have had a poor December but have secured spirited victories in their recent games.

The Hornets tend to get involved in close games; this was the case earlier in the season when they faced the Hawks in Atlanta and lost by a narrow 110-113 score. But the last time they met at the Spectrum Center in March, the game ended up being a high-scoring affair with a blowout victory for the Hawks.

Our prediction for Hornets vs Hawks is: Over 238.5.
