Smart Game Analysis
Atlanta Hawks has a 62% chance of winning the game
Atlanta's superior depth and strong road record give them the edge over a Hornets squad missing nearly half their rotation due to injury.

- • Atlanta forward Jalen Johnson is in peak form, averaging 22.8 points and recently recording a triple-double.
- • The Hawks possess a strong 6-3 road record compared to the Hornets' struggling 5-8 mark at the Spectrum Center.
- • Dyson Daniels provides elite two-way play for Atlanta, coming off a season-high 27-point, 10-rebound performance.
- • Atlanta leads the NBA in assists with 30.8 per game, creating a fluid offense that will challenge Charlotte's depleted defense.
