Charlotte at Atlanta

Charlotte won the first meeting 100-96 on Nov. 18 when Nicolas Batum scored 24 points and Cody Zeller added 23 points. Now the Hornets try to bounce back from a loss in Boston last night. Batum had a team-leading 22 points against the Celtics, but the Hornets made only 8-of-30 three-point attempts. Kemba Walker did not play on Friday, but is expected back for this game. Atlanta is also playing back-to-back after Friday's 125-121 win in Toronto as Dwight Howard had 27 points and 15 rebounds. The Hawks are 0-5 ATS their last five home games and have covered just once their last seven games after allowing 100-plus points in their previous game. Also, Atlanta is 0-5 ATS after an ATS win. Charlotte is a slight underdog, so play the Hornets on the moneyline.
