Charlotte HornetsÂ
The Charlotte Hornets will be aiming for a second straight victory after outlasting the Rockets in a 110-105 road win on Wednesday night. LaMelo Ball dominated as he led the team with 34 points, eight rebounds, and 11 assists, Tre Mann added 24 points on eight of 16 shooting off the bench while Miles Bridges chipped in with 10 points and nine rebounds. As a team, the Hornets shot 44 percent from the field and 15 of 39 from the 3-point line as they struggled to find their feet and scored just 21 points in the first quarter to trail by 18 points before they went on a pivotal 10-2 run late in the fourth quarter to come away with the unlikely road win.
Atlanta HawksÂ
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks are also coming into this one feeling good after sneaking past the Nets in a 120-116 home win in their season opener. Trae Young led the team with 30 points and 12 assists, Onyeka Okongwu added 28 points on 11 of 12 shooting off the bench, Dyson Daniels added 15 points with five steals while Jalen Johnson chipped in with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 48 percent from the field and nine of 28 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in a real arm wrestle with the pesky Nets, until the fourth quarter where they exploded for 37 points to escape with the narrow win at home.Â

Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Hornets could be a little shorthanded as Tidjane Salaun is listed as questionable, while the Hawks are going to be missing Bogdan Bogdanovic and Cody Zeller once again. The Hornets will be feeling good following their upset win over the Rockets and they will be quietly confident about their chances against the Hawks who are banged up at the moment. I can see why the Hawks are favored at home, but I think we’re getting enough free points to go with the Hornets to keep this one close or even the outright win in the end.Â
