This season, the Atlanta Hawks have managed to go from bad to worse, as they can’t get their heads up, are struggling, and have deficits in all areas.
Playing away from home has been a major challenge for this team, with them securing a 5-9 record, which will follow them into tonight’s game.
The Hawks’ numbers have gotten worse with the progressing season, leaving them with an average of 113.1 points scored and 114.6 points allowed per game. Mainly due to injuries to Dejounte Murray, John Collins, and Clint Capela, although Collins has recovered. There should be some improvements in the coming days.

Charlotte Hornets Vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
Atlanta Hawks have been inconsistent recently, but even as they play without Dejounte Murray, they can fall back on a good defense headed by Trae Young and Clint Capela who assists.
The Hawks won’t have many challenges playing against the Hornets’ defense which has been in shambles in recent days.
Charlotte Hornets don’t also have a great defense, but with LaMelo Ball coming back, they should reach a new level. So, they will have a good day against the Hawks team that showed they had shaky defense in their last game.
Both teams are ticking bombs at the moment, ready to go off at any minute with one single mistake in tonight’s game.
Their poor defenses don’t leave much to be talked about, but with Young and Ball heading the respective offenses, bettors can expect a high-scoring game.
