Will the streak of away wins continue?
The home side from Charlotte take the “red lantern” in the Eastern Conference. Against Atlanta, they will be hoping to stop their current run of seven defeats.
However, the visitors arrive in a stable condition with two recent victories against Phoenix and San Antonio. For the game between the Hornets and Hawks on 14.02.203 from 01:00, an NBA tip from today is presented.
Charlotte Hornets – Statistics & current form
Charlotte and Atlanta have already faced each other three times this season and the visiting team has always prevailed. As a result, the Hornets have two wins and one loss so far.
The home side have also been without forward Kelly Oubre Jr. since the start of the year. Until his absence, the former Warriors player delivered his best seasonal record so far with around 20 points per game!
Without him, Charlotte’s offense is weakened and the hosts can’t bank on a home bonus: With a win percentage of just 28 percent on their own turf, the Hornets also rank second-to-last in the East in home rating.
Atlanta Hawks – Statistics & current form
Atlanta are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and have to fight hard for a place in the postseason.
Trae Young is in good form at the moment: The guard recorded a double-double with 17 assists and 24 points in the recent win against the Spurs from San Antonio.
In addition, he leads the club’s internal rankings in the two areas and only James Harden of the Sixers records more successful assists for his teammates league-wide than “Ice Trae”.
Charlotte Hornets – Atlanta Hawks Tip
For the clash between the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks, the tip aims for an away win by at least five points.
So far in three season-long duels in the pairing, the visiting team has always prevailed and now there are signs of a continuation of that streak.
The Hawks are stronger than the penultimate team in the East. The home side will also be without their powerful Kelly Oubre Jr. due to injury and are weak at home – the Hornets have won just seven of 25 home games.
