The Atlanta Hawks will welcome the Charlotte Hornets, seeking to boost their NBA playoff hopes. The Hawks enter this match as the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference and almost 15 games clear of their 14th-placed visitors. Read on for our prediction of this match.

The Hawks have won three straight games. All three wins came at their State Farm Arena. Quin Snyder’s men, with this run, have strengthened their postseason chances.

The Hawks, who are unbeaten against the Hornets this season, have improved to a 31-34 record. They are 8.5 games clear of the teams outside the play-in bracket.

Atlanta, who have Carius LeVert and Trae Young questionable on the injury report, are six games behind on the automatic playoff places.

The Hornets have won their last two matches, defeating the Nets and Heat all by similar 105-102 scorelines. Having lost a close battle against the high-flying Cavaliers 118-117, Charles Lee’s men have been reinvigorated.

Before this upturn in fortunes, Charlotte had lost nine in a row. One of the worst teams in the NBA, the Hornets have won back-to-back matches for only the third time.

Jusuf Nurkic is questionable while Brandon Miller, Tre Mann and Josh Okogie remain long-term absentees. Though they have improved to 16 wins, the Hornets look destined to miss out on the postseason yet again.
