In their first two games, Atlanta faced teams that were last season’s underdogs. These teams were beaten by ten points. The Charlotte Hornets are certainly better than Orlando or Houston. We don’t think Clifford’s side will do any worse than the Hawks’ recent opponents.
Both teams are quite fast. Last season, Charlotte was one of the funniest teams in the league. It’s not impossible that the upcoming game will be high-scoring as well.
Trae Young is averaging 25.5 points per game in his career.
