Atlanta Hawks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

The head of the train came in the form of Trae Young, and it will again this season. Young, who has earned the nickname Ice Trae due to his clutch shooting and unreal three-point range, has turned in another all-star NBA season. Young will need some help from his team if they want to make another run this season. The loss of star forward John Collins has been tough for the hawks, but they have had some other guys really step up, including Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic.

The Hornets were in a play-in spot a season ago but came up short in an embarrassing loss to the Indiana Pacers. The Hornets will look to flip the script this season, led by all-star guard Lamelo Ball. Ball, who is one of the most talented young players in the NBA, turned in an outstanding regular season. Ball said that last year's beat down will drive them more in this game on Wednesday night. One of the more underrated players in all of the NBA is Miles Bridges, who turned in one hell of a season. Bridges put up numbers to be an all-star but was not selected. Bridges is known for his emphatic dunking skills but has shown a lot more than that this season. This is a very talented Hornets team who is going to look to pull off the big upset.

I am going to back the road dog here with the points. Since the loss of Collins, I believe this Hawks team lacks that second option. The Hornets will have to be committed to double teams against Young and make someone else beat them in this game. The Hawks have guys who can do it, but it’s a chance I am willing to take. I believe last year's game has prepared the Hornets for this spot on Wednesday. This is a team that has a ton of talent across the board on the offensive end and wants to turn this game into a track meet. I believe the pace that the Hawks like to play at favors the Hornets. If you get into a track meet with the Hornets, they have a good chance of beating you. I feel very confident that the Hornets put up enough points on the board to keep this thing close and get us a cover.
