Could it be? The first playoff appearance for the Charlotte Bobcats? Michael Jordan’s team is currently holding down the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference but has a tough hurdle to climb tonight against the Atlanta Hawks.
Even at home, it won’t be easy for Charlotte tonight. Its go-to guys, Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace, are both playing through pain down the stretch. Jackson in particular is hurting, generally banged up with hamstring, elbow, ankle, hand – let’s just say everything hurts. He missed the fourth quarter in a 96-88 loss to Chicago last Saturday.
The Hawks aren’t in tip-top shape, either. Top scorer Joe Johnson, who is averaging over 21 points per game this season, will miss tonight’s game and probably tomorrow night’s matchup in Detroit with a sprained right thumb.
If it weren’t for Johnson, I’d go with Atlanta tonight. But the Hawks are just 2-7 against the spread over their last nine matchups with Charlotte and will try to overcome that trend without their star. Also, Atlanta is locked into a home-court playoff series in the first round, six and a half games up on fifth-place Miami. Charlotte will play with far more desperation tonight.
