Hawks vs Hornets Prediction

The Hawks are the better team and need to take advantage of games like this, but they’re also not a team I trust with big chalk. The Hawks are just a .500 team at home, and they’re 31-34 ATS on the season. Say what you want about the Hornets, but they’ve won two straight games and have covered three straight numbers.

The underdog has also covered nine of the last 10 games between the Hawks and Hornets, including the two games this year that were decided by a combined eight points. Oddsmakers are overreacting to the Hornets’ ugly losses and an injury report that’s not getting any better. We’re also seeing Young listed as questionable. There are better options out there, but give me the Hawks and the points if forced to pick.
