What to Know

The Charlotte Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks will face off in a Southeast Division clash at 7 p.m. ET Jan. 23 at Spectrum Center. If the contest is anything like the Hornets’ 130-127 victory from their previous meeting in December of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

Charlotte took their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder this past Friday by a conclusive 121-98 score. Charlotte’s success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but shooting guard Terry Rozier led the charge as he had 24 points and nine assists along with five boards.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat typically have all the answers at home, but this past Friday Atlanta proved too difficult a challenge. Atlanta skirted past Miami 110-108. The Hawks can attribute much of their success to shooting guard Kevin Huerter, who shot 5-for-9 from downtown and finished with 21 points, and point guard Trae Young, who had 28 points and seven assists.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Hornets are expected to win a tight contest Sunday. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

The wins brought Charlotte up to 26-20 and Atlanta to 20-25. A pair of defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Charlotte is third worst in the league in points allowed per game, with 114.2 on average. The Hawks have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.90% from the floor on average, which is the fifth highest shooting percentage allowed in the league. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
