Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets have been doing it tough for a while now, as they've lost 11 of their last 13 games overall. The Hornets will be hoping to put an end to a two-game skid after getting smashed by the Mavericks in a 130-104 loss last night. Miles Bridges led the team with 22 points, Brandon Miller added 21 points with six rebounds and four assists, while Davis Bertans chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Hornets shot 43 percent from the field and 10 of 32 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace right from the start and never looked like they had a chance after trailing by 69-47 going into halftime.
Atlanta Hawks
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have cooled off a bit recently as they've lost four of their last six games overall. The Hawks will be eager to snap a three-game slide after getting beaten by the Heat in a 117-111 double overtime loss last night. Dejounte Murray led the team with a triple-double of 29 points with 13 rebounds and 13 assists, De'Andre Hunter added 23 points with 11 rebounds while Jalen Johnson chipped in with 13 points on six of seven shooting. As a team, the Hawks shot just 39 percent from the field and 10 of 46 from the 3-point line as they clawed their way back from an early 15-point deficit, only to run out of gas in the second overtime where they managed just four points to allow the Heat off the hook in the end. The Hawks will meet the Timberwolves after this one.

Hornets vs Hawks prediction
The Hornets don't have any players listed on their injury report, while the Hawks are still missing Trae Young, Jalen Johnson and Seth Lundy. The Hornets have been one of the coldest teams in the league, and they are coming into this one fresh off a 26-point drubbing at the hands of the Mavericks. The Hawks could be a little tired for this one after coming up short in a grueling double overtime loss last night. The Hawks really should have no trouble getting the win here, but the Hornets are capable of hanging around, and I think we're getting just enough free points here.
