*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday evening, January 20th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, January 21st.
Charlotte Hornets
The losing streak finally came to an end on the road in Houston. That the Hornets lost five in a row isn’t that surprising given how this team plays ball.
At times they are an exciting offensive club that relies on LaMelo Ball whipping the ball around the court to his teammates to hit wide open shots.
But more often than not, this team looks like they arrived for a pick-up game and have either no desire or understanding of what ‘defense’ means.
Stats
Also, Charlotte ranks 23rd averaging 112.4 points per game and ranks 28th in field goal percentage shooting 45.1% and 30th on the perimeter shooting 32.8%.
Defensively, Charlotte is giving up an average of 118.9 points (28th). So far, opponents shoot 48.2 percent from the field (26th) and 36.3% from the perimeter ranking 20th overall.
Summing up injuries, Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is probable while LaMelo Ball (ankle/wrist) and Cody Martin (knee) are doubtful for Saturday. Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) is out indefinitely.
Atlanta Hawks
The winning streak coincides with Trae Young seemingly accepting his role of playing WITH Dejounte Murray and allowing for the latter to assist in the playmaking and take over scoring when he’s hot.
On Friday, Murray served up a double-double of 29 points and 12 assists along with six rebounds, and three steals. Young offered 27 points and six assists. But neither was hot from the perimeter shooting a collective 2 of 11.
Stats
Atlanta ranks 10th in scoring, averaging 115.9 points per game while they shoot 47.5%, from the field and 34.4% from the perimeter ranking 13th and 24th respectively
Also, on defense, opponents score 116.2 points ranking 21st while foes register 47.4% field goal percentage and 34.3% perimeter percentage ranking 17th and fourth respectively.
Because the Hawks played Friday their injury report hasn’t been submitted but it’s believed everyone is healthy.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Atlanta Hawks NBA Prediction:
Without Ball playing for Charlotte and the Hawks streaking this should be an easy win for Atlanta even playing on consecutive nights. With the Hornets rarely defending the 3-point line look for Young and Murray to make up for their cold Friday night as they light up the perimeter.
