Charlotte Hornets has a 54% chance of winning the game
The red-hot Hornets bring the NBA's longest active winning streak into Atlanta to face a Hawks squad managing significant roster turnover following the trade deadline.
Key Analysis
- • Charlotte enters the contest on an eight-game winning streak, the longest active run in the league.
- • Atlanta is missing key trade acquisition Jonathan Kuminga due to a knee injury, while Buddy Hield and Gabe Vincent are questionable.
- • The Hornets rank 3rd in the NBA in three-pointers made and face a Hawks defense that allows 118.3 points per game.
- • Jalen Johnson is carrying the Hawks' offense, coming off a massive 22-point, 16-rebound, 15-assist triple-double.
- • Charlotte rookie Kon Knueppel ranks 3rd in the entire NBA for made three-pointers, providing elite spacing for LaMelo Ball.
- • Atlanta must improve its perimeter defense to stop a Hornets team shooting 37% from deep.
