Charlotte at Atlanta

Atlanta finished the regular season winning seven of its last nine games, including a 130-114 blowout against Houston while shooting 51.7 percent on Sunday. The Hawks will lean on Trae Young, who averaged 28.4 points and 9.7 assists this season, but Atlanta has seven scorers averaging double figures. The teams split four meetings this season and the Hawks will be looking for payback after losing 116-106 to Charlotte on March 16. The Hornets won four of their last seven games, but lost to Denver, Philadelphia and Miami while beating the weaker teams. Six of the past eight meetings at Atlanta have gone OVER and the Hornets are 7-0 OVER playing with two days rest and they have gone OVER their last four road games. The Hawks are 10-3 OVER as home favorites and they have covered 12 of 17 as home favorites. Take the Hawks as a Max Play, and make an additional play on the OVER.
