# Atlanta Hawks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction 10-25-24 NBA Picks | Sports Chat Place ## Tables Turned in Atlanta When the Hawks and Hornets last met in January, the Hawks were terrible shooters, while the Hornets came out guns blazing. Charlotte led 76-55 at halftime and cruised to a 129-102 victory. Since that game, two things have happened. First, the Hawks have turned into a juggernaut, winning nine consecutive games and covering the spread in each of their last six. Meanwhile, the Hornets have lost five of their last eight, including a 144-115 blowout to Orlando on Monday. ## Charlotte's Injuries The Hornets are down two key players in Gordon Hayward (hamstring) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle). Hayward is their leading scorer (20.7 points per game), while Oubre is their third-leading scorer (17.3 points per game). Their absences will be a significant blow to Charlotte's offense, which is already struggling. ## Prediction The Hawks will likely cover the spread, even if they don't blow out the Hornets like last time. Charlotte is simply not the same team without Hayward and Oubre, and the Hawks are playing too well to let this one slip away. ## Conclusion The Hawks are the hottest team in the NBA right now, and they should be able to take care of the Hornets even on the road. Charlotte is without two of its best players, and their offense has been struggling lately. The Hawks are playing with confidence and should be able to cover the spread.
