Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

The Hornets have ruled out the newly acquired Malaki Branham and Coby White, with Tidjane Salaun listed as questionable, while the Hawks have ruled out Jonathan Kuminga. They have Buddy Hield, Onyeka Okongwu, and Gabe Vincent all listed as questionable. The Hornets head into this contest as one of the hottest teams in the league right now, but the Hawks have also been on a great run, so we should be in for a good one here. It’s difficult to split these two teams presently, but the Hornets have collected some solid wins lately, and I think they stay hot with another win and cover at this short line.
