Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s Hornets vs. Hawks game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Under between the Hawks and Hornets:

"The Over has moved up from 233 to 237 overnight, but I am not sure that's the right angle considering the Hornets' outputs. Charlotte's scored 105 points in two straight games and 110 or fewer points in nine of the past 10 contests. While the Hawks present an uptempo pace for the Hornets to surpass that, I think Atlanta could stifle Charlotte. I lean the Under 237."
