Preview

Atlanta Hawks will be meeting Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday in Atlanta for the first game of their play in tournament as the winner will be facing the Cleveland cavaliers and the winner in that match will be facing Miami Heat in the first playoffs round, they have played eachother 4 times this season that ended in a 2-2 tie.

Charlotte Hornets are on 3 game winning streak after beating Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards in last 3 games. Charlotte only have Hayward out for this game and the rest of the team are ready for this challenge Vs the Hawks as the loser of this game is out of the playoffs.

Atlanta Hawks have been playing some great basketball lately even though they have been suffering from injuries lately, they are now 7-2 straight up and ATS last 9 games and those 2 loses were against Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors. Lou Williams and John Collins are both out for the Hawks in this game. Atlanta are playing their best when they are at home which is why I think they have a big change to win and cover this game, they only lost 1 of last 12 home games played this season.

Prediction

Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks both have the same season straight up record (43-39) and they have faced 4 times this season which have ended in 2 wins for both teams. Hawks are 27-14 ATA at home this season thought and I like them to do well here vs this Charlotte team that plays none to little defense and can't stop a player like Trae Young. Having the home court advantage is huge as we have seen in the Nets Vs Cavs game and also the Timberwolves Vs Clippers team and I like the home teams to continue doing well tonight so give me the Hawks.

Pick: Atlanta Hawks -5 (-110)
