Atlanta Hawks vs Charlotte Hornets prediction

Right when I was ready to show the Atlanta Hawks some love, they lose to the Bulls by 10 points. Are the Hawks heading in the right direction, or was their recent winning stretch just a fluke? I guess we’ll find out here. The Charlotte Hornets aren’t winning, they’re banged up, and they’re 20-33 ATS on the season despite being massive underdogs nightly. I have little use for the Hornets, and if the Hawks are serious about staying in the playoff conversation, these are games they need to take advantage of. I’ll lay the points with the Hawks, but there’s probably better options out there on a stacked Wednesday card.
