Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Charlotte Hornets have been more competitive this season and play hard, but they continue to rack up the losses and now Ball is dealing with a calf injury that left him out of Friday’s game. Check the injury report before betting. The Atlanta Hawks could be in a letdown spot, but they’re coming off back-to-back wins over the Cavs, the sort of performances that could turn their season around. Have to be impressed with what the Hawks have shown over the last few days. Give me the Hawks and the small number.
