Hawks vs. Hornets Picks & Prediction

Jim's Free Play : 529. Hawks +5 

Charlotte is laying a surprisingly hefty number at home, and this matchup profiles as tighter than the line suggests. The Hawks’ perimeter scoring and transition pace match up well with a Hornets defense that has struggled to contain guards and allows long runs when their offense stalls. With Atlanta’s ability to generate easy buckets and Charlotte’s inconsistency in late-game execution, the points hold strong value here.
