The Charlotte Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks do battle at the State Farm Arena on Sunday night. Here’s a Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include a Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.
Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview
The Charlotte Hornets have been in a real slump as they’ve lost 12 of their first 16 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a five-game slide after getting routed by the Clippers in a 131-116 loss last night. Kon Knueppel led the team with 26 points on nine of 12 shooting, Brandon Miller added 21 points, Miles Bridges added 19 points while LaMelo Ball tallied 18 points with seven assists.
As a team, the Hornets shot 48 percent from the field and 11 of 36 from the 3-point line as they did a decent job of hanging in the contest going into halftime despite allowing 38 points in the first quarter. However, things only got worse in the second half where they fell behind by as many as 24 points at one stage. The Hornets just had no answer for the Clippers’ James Harden who scorched them for 55 points on 17 of 26 shooting.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in pretty good form as they’ve won six of their last eight games overall. They will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the struggling Pelicans in a 115-98 road win last night. Kristaps Porzingis really hasn’t had much to say about this season until last night where he poured in 29 points on 11 of 17 shooting. Vit Krejci drained seven 3-pointers to finish with 21 points off the bench while Jalen Johnson tallied 18 points with 11 rebounds and nine assists.
As a team, the Hawks shot 46 percent from the field and 17 of 46 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 35 points in the second quarter to take a 10-point lead into halftime. Before they pulled away and took a 24-point lead to put the game to bed early.

Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Hornets are still missing Grant Williams, Pat Connaughton and Ryan Kalkbrenner, while the Hawks have ruled out Onyeka Okongwu, Keaton Wallace and Trae Young. The Hornets have been a mess so far this season and things only got worse last night when they got scorched by the Clippers’ James Harden. Meanwhile, the Hawks have been on a very encouraging run since losing Young to injury. I think they follow up last night’s win with another win and cover here.
