Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks will clash in the NBA Eastern Conference on Friday night at Spectrum Center. The Hornets will be seeking to win their home opener after edging out Brooklyn Nets 103-110 on Wednesday night on the road. It was a promising night for the Hornets, who saw their newcomers shine. Grayson Allen led the team with 21 points while Naz Reid tallied 20 points and 11 rebounds. In addition, Ryan Kalkbrenner showed improved aggression and physicality.
Atlanta Hawks, on the other hand, were on a tear in their season opener against Orlando Magic. The Hawks won 125-132 on Wednesday night behind Alexander Walker’s 31 points. Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels both contributed 20 points in a hotly contested matchup. And the best part of the night is that Atlanta rallied before halftime to erase a double-digit deficit and take a 10-point lead. They’re understandably the -155 favorites on Friday night.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
Charlotte Hornets will fancy their chances as the +115 betting underdogs. They looked composed without LaMelo Ball, who was traded to the Timberwolves in exchange for Naz Reid. Still, there were moments where their offense couldn’t get into sets and create opportunities. Charlotte will know that their only way to victory is to outscore the high-flying Hawks. The visitors will be full of confidence, having won their last five games and averaging 124.4 PPG. Let’s also note that Atlanta Hawks are 8-1 in their last nine away games. Overall, we think the Hawks will win with the total points going over 226.5.
Our prediction for Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks: Over 226.5 points.
