Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction 3/12/25 NBA Picks

The Charlotte Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks collide at the State Farm Arena on Wednesday night. Here’s a Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include a Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.

The Charlotte Hornets look to have moved on from their ugly nine-game losing streak as they are now gunning for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Heat in a 105-102 road win on Monday. Miles Bridges led the team with 35 points and five assists on 12 of 19 shooting, Mark Williams added 24 points with 10 rebounds and two blocks while LaMelo Ball chipped in with 15 points and 10 assists. As a team, the Hornets shot just 41 percent from the field and 11 of 44 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and looked to be in deep trouble when they fell behind by 17 points. However, the Hornets showed resilience as they chipped away at the deficit and went on a pivotal 10-0 run in the fourth quarter to run down the Heat and escape with an impressive comeback victory. 

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks are starting to heat up as they've won four of their last five games. They will be eager to build on their three-game win streak after taking down the slumping 76ers in a 132-123 home win on Monday. Dyson Daniels led the team with 25 points, six rebounds, and nine assists, Zaccharie Risacher added 22 points with eight rebounds on nine of 16 shooting while Terance Mann chipped in with 19 points, six rebounds and four assists off the bench. As a team, the Hawks shot 54 percent from the field and 15 of 37 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the hapless 76ers from the start and led by as many as 22 points. This was more than enough to hold off a late charge from the 76ers who poured in 43 points in the fourth quarter.  

Why the Atlanta Hawks will win

• The Hornets have lost 11 of their last 12 games against Southeast Division opponents.
• The Hawks have won eight of their last nine games against Southeast Division opponents following a win.
• The Hornets have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six games against Southeast Division opponents.
• The Hawks have covered the spread in three of their last four home games against Southeast Division opponents.

Why the Charlotte Hornets will win

• The Hornets have won six of their last nine games as underdogs against the Hawks.
• The Hawks have lost each of their last six Wednesday night games against Hornets teams that held a losing record.
• The Hornets have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games as underdogs against the Hawks.
• The Hawks have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games at State Farm Arena against Hornets teams that held a losing record.

The Hornets don't have any player listed on the injury report at the moment, while the Hawks are keeping an eye on Trae Young and Caris LeVert who are both questionable for this one. The Hornets really don't have anything to play for at this stage of the season, but that hasn't stopped them from coming to life with two wins in a row. The Hawks open as clear favorites in this one, as they've been in fine form over the past week, but they could be severely shorthanded for this matchup. This is one of those games where you should check the lineups before tip-off, but the Hawks have been the more reliable and consistent team all season. I think they get the win and cover at home in this one.
