Advice and prediction

On one side, the Atlanta Hawks are one of the best offenses in the league with a starting unit led by Trae Young and a bench unit anchored by Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari.

On the other side is a Charlotte side producing open shots but struggling to knock them down. As the starters continue to struggle offensively, the team continues to fall into big holes early and is forced to play from behind.

The Hornets will break out of their rut eventually, and against a middling defense, it could be this game. However, a 232.5 over/under seems high. Until the Hornets do break out offensively, it makes sense to keep taking the under.

Prediction: Hawks 118, Hornets 111
