The postseason-chasing Atlanta Hawks will be away to the lowly Charlotte Hornets in their next assignment in the NBA. They enter this game as the seventh seed in the East whereas the Hornets are second from bottom in the conference. Read on for our prediction for this match.

The Hornets have improved in recent outings but this comes too late in terms of clinching a postseason slot. Charles Lee’s men have won three of their last five games and before this stretch, they had managed just one win in 13.

The Hornets, who lost 123-88 to the Clippers to end a four-game trip, have compiled a 17-50 record. They sit 11 games from the play-in with 15 games to play.

The Hawks have already secured the spoils in this season's series with the Hornets and now are seeking a clean sweep. They won a third straight against their hosts less than a week ago at home.

That 123-110 victory was the last win of a four-match streak. Quin Snyder’s men have lost their last two games. After a 23-point blowout defeat at home by the Clippers, the Hawks were pegged back by a depleted Nets last time out. They fell 122-114 on the road.

This skid has seen them loosen their grip on seventh as they are now just 0.5 a game above their closest challengers.
