Hornets at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 114, Hornets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Hawks (-600) to take the down Hornets, who are 2-8 in their last 10 games and 8-30 on the road this season.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +10.5 (-110).

Charlotte is 5-3 ATS in its last 8 games and has covered the spread in 4 of its last 6 as an underdog of 9.5 or more points. It faces an Atlanta team that is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 and failed to cover in its last game as a double-digit favorite.

Over/Under

BET OVER 219.5 (-110).

Both the Hornets and Hawks have Over records of 8-2 in their last 10 games. The Hornets have hit the Over in each of their last 3 games, and 5 of 6, while scoring 118 or more in 4 of their last 8. The Hawks have hit the Over in back-to-back games and scored 110 or more points in 9 of their last 10.

Charlotte Hornets at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Charlotte Hornets at Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Charlotte Hornets (17-52) make the 3rd stop on a 4-game road trip against the Atlanta Hawks (30-39) Saturday night. Tip-off at State Farm Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Hornets vs. Hawks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Hornets lead 2-0

The Hornets have dropped the past 3 outings while also failing to cover in those games. The Under has hit in each of the setbacks, too, as the offense has cobbled together just 95.3 points per game in the span, going for 98 or fewer in each contest. The Under is 14-3 in the past 17 games dating back to Feb. 12, too.

The Hawks ended up with just a single win in a 5-game road trip, going 1-4 against the spread (ATS). At home, Atlanta is 3-1 straight up/ATS in the past 4 games while cashing the Under in each of those outings.

Charlotte has covered both meetings against the Hawks, including a 122-99 blowout Feb. 14 as a 7-point underdog. The Under has also cashed in both outings this season.

Hornets at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 108, Hornets 101

Moneyline

The Hawks (-430) will cost you more than 4 times your potential return, and that’s an insane risk given the fact Atlanta has won just once in the past 5 games, and it has been tripped up by the Hornets (+340) in each of the 1st 2 meetings this season.

Still, Charlotte cannot be trusted, as this team has managed a dismal 8-28 record on the road.

PASS.

Against the spread

The HORNETS +9 (-110) are worth playing lightly as the underdogs.

Again, Charlotte has won the 1st 2 meetings this season, both taking place at Spectrum Center in the Queen City.

The Hawks -9 (-110) cannot be trusted laying such a big number, especially considering Atlanta is just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games. While the Hawks have been decent at home lately, as a favorite of 6.5 or more points, Atlanta is just 2-7 ATS in the past 9 instances.

Over/Under

UNDER 214.5 (-110) is the play in this Southeast Division battle.

While the Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Hawks, the total has gone low in 10 of the past 15 games, including a perfect 5-0 in the past 5 outings at home.

For the Hornets, the Under is 3-0 in the past 3 games while going 7-2 in the past 9 outings and cashing at a 14-3 pace in the past 17 contests.

Hornets at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 114, Hornets 107

Moneyline

PASS.

Hawks (-556) ML will probably hit, but it is way too expensive to bet. This line suggests that Atlanta has an 84.8% chance of winning and I believe the probability is much lower. The Hornets are being undervalued in this spot.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +10.5 (-110).

I project Atlanta to win by 7 points, even with Ball and Rozier not playing (F Miles Bridges’ absence has been accounted for in the offseason). This line is an overreaction to Rozier’s injury and Charlotte’s ATS loss to the Pelicans. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 228.5 (-105).

The Under is 2-0 in Atlanta’s first 2 games of the season and 6-1 in the last 7 head-to-head meetings between these teams. I expect a low-scoring game between a Hornets squad that is dealing with injuries and an Atlanta offense that is being overvalued due to the addition of Murray.

Charlotte Hornets at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Charlotte Hornets at Atlanta Hawks NBA betting odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Charlotte Hornets (2-5) clash with the Atlanta Hawks (4-3) Wednesday in a Southeast Division game at the State Farm Arena. The tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Hornets NBA betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The Hornets are in a two-game miniseries with the Hawks after just getting crushed in Philadelphia by the 76ers in both games of that back-to-back by 15 and 16 points. Charlotte is now on a three-game losing streak following back-to-back impressive wins over the Dallas Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets.

Atlanta has dropped two straight, including a 113-108 loss at home against the New York Knicks as 7.5-point favorites Jan. 4. The Hawks squandered a 15-point lead in the game and ended up shooting worse from everywhere on the floor and being out-rebounded 53-46.

These teams were only able to fit in two head-to-head meetings last year before the shutdown, but Atlanta won both (1-0-1 ATS) with the last contest being a 143-138 overtime victory.

Hornets at Hawks: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hornets 119, Hawks 114

Money line (ML)

There are a couple of hoops’ angles I see in Hornets-Hawks. First, Trae Young and Atlanta thrive at the charity stripe. The Hawks are second in free-throw attempts per field goal attempts, but the Hornets are 10th in FT/FGA.

Second, Atlanta might not be able to capitalize on Charlotte’s biggest weakness (turning the ball over): The Hornets are 22nd in turnover percentage, but the Hawks are only 28th in defensive turnover percentage.

Also, Charlotte is much healthier entering this game and 2-to-1 vs. an unproven Atlanta team is too juicy to pass up. This is more of a bet against Atlanta than on Charlotte, but I lean HORNETS (+200) for a half-unit since I am taking them to cover the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

GIMME HORNETS +6.5 (-120) for 1.5 units. On top of the stuff written above, more than 70% of the market is on the Hawks in this game (according to Pregame.com) and 70% of bettors don’t beat the House.

Despite the majority of bettors backing Atlanta, the Hornets have the pricier spread. Weird, right? It’s kind of like BetMGM wants you to bet the Hawks. Nah, we are on the Hornets here.

Over/Under (O/U)

I lean OVER 231.5 (-115) but not enough to stake a real wager to it. I’m good with just playing the Hornets’ side.
