Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 28-28
The Atlanta Hawks remain in the midst of a tight playoff battle and are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference. In addition, they are only 3.0 games away from the spots with the golden ticket to the playoffs, so they know that they still have chances to at least fight for that goal. However, to do so, they must be much more solid than they have been so far.
After two home games, the Hawks will have to go on the road once again, something that may worry their fans a bit as they have posted a 14-17 record in that condition. While the Hawks average 116.4 points scored per game on the road, they have not been able to fully capitalize on that output due to an average of 117.9 points allowed.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular Season Record: 15-42
Things continue to look bleak for the Charlotte Hornets, who enter this game at the bottom of the Eastern Conference after losing their last seven games. That streak may very well capture the essence of the Hornets’ campaign, from which a little more was expected after two highly competitive years.
The Hornets haven’t stood out this season, given that they are sixth worst in the league offensively, with an average of 111.9 points scored per game. Plus, they own the NBA’s third-most permissive defense, which is averaging 118.1 points against and has allowed its opponents a 48.1 % shooting percentage from the field.
JefeBet Prediction
While the Hawks have struggled whenever visiting this campaign, it is also true that they have been a bit better in that area recently, winning three of their last seven away games.
Being at home has not been an advantage for the Hornets, who are one of the two teams that have won more away than at home this campaign. Thus, this will be a very good opportunity for the Hawks to improve their away record.
Offensively, the Hawks are a much more consistent team than the home team, led by one of the best players in the league, Trae Young, who should have no problem hurting one of the worst defenses in the NBA and leading his team to another victory.
Prediction: Atlanta Hawks Spread.
