Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Hornets Points Over 114.5 – 1.80.
There’s no doubt that this game will be an emotional one. The Charlotte Hornets have improved lately, but the team as a whole still has work to do. James Borrego’s team is well aware that they have only one opportunity left, so they’ll have to take their chances.
The Atlanta Hawks, led by Trae Young, can compete with anyone, especially John Collins and Bogdan Bogdanovic in the line-up. The Hawks will be playing in their home arena, which is a big plus as the last four home games have ended in favour of the Hawks.
The clubs have to rely on their attacks. In our opinion, the opponents have a lot to show each other, so we expect a high-scoring game.

The Hawks had a pretty good first part of the season, but then, with injuries and unstable play, they began to fall apart. Nate McMillan’s team held onto tenth place in the Eastern Conference for a long time, but eventually even managed to beat the Charlotte Hornets in the standings.
The Atlanta Hawks will try to get the eighth seed in the playoffs and take on the Miami Heat, though there are two steps to do so. First, the Hawks will face a tough battle with the Charlotte Hornets and then face the Cleveland Cavaliers. In short, Trae Young and his teammates will have to do well in the near future.
The Hawks defeated the Rockets (130-114) in their last regular-season game. In that game, Trae Young scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists.

The Hornets simply lacked experience, but Michael Jordan can be happy with his club’s performance, as they are still in the game. James Borrego’s men fell short of the competition, but recent matches have shown that all is not yet lost.
Recall that the Charlotte Hornets have won three straight as they defeated the Orlando Magic (128-101), Chicago Bulls (133-117) and Washington Wizards (124-108). I would like to mention the play of LaMelo Ball, who has really grown as a player. Last year, the Hornets fell in their first play-in game, so the team is clearly aiming to surpass that result.
In the last game of the regular season against the Wizards, LaMelo Ball scored 24 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.
