Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction: Time to Beat the Outsider of the East

Prediction for the NBA Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks match, which will take place on February 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets did not give half of the lineup to the trade deadline but parted with the main center Mason Plumlee. There weren't many big ones already in Steve Clifford's team, and now there aren't any. So Charlotte's continued defeats are not surprising at all.

In the previous game, the Hornets failed to put up a decent resistance in the Denver home arena – 105:119. Nikola Jokic scored another triple-double for the Nuggets, while P.J. Washington and Gordon Hayward scored 22 and 21 points, respectively, for the Hornets.

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks have played their last two games at home and won both times. First, Nate McMillan's team once again confirmed that Phoenix is a very convenient opponent for it – 116:107. And then they achieved one of the easiest wins this season, coping with the leader of the Western Conference, San Antonio - 125:106.

In general, Atlanta still performs unevenly. Still, at the start of the second half of the championship, it is worth admitting it began to win more often and thoroughly returned to the race for the top 6 of the Eastern Conference.

Expert Betting Tips

Strangely, bookmakers offer such a large total for the upcoming match – more than 240 points have not been scored in the confrontation between Atlanta and Charlotte for six matches in a row. Besides, opponents use a three-point attack less this season than a two-point one. We bet on the victory of Atlanta – Nate McMillan's team added at the beginning of the second half of the championship, is actively fighting to get into the playoffs and must beat the outsider of the East by all means.
