With LaMelo Ball now on the shelf until mid-December with a calf strain, the Hornets might be expected to continue in their recent low-scoring pattern. No team has reached as many as 100 points across Charlotte's last three games, including earlier this week vs. the Magic and Heat when Ball was available, and again last night minus Ball vs. the Knicks. As Charlotte games had hit 231 on the scoreline or higher in the preceding five games, can sense this is likely a tactical change by HC Charles Lee. We'll now see if the Hawks, off of back-to-back surprises vs. the Cavs, play along, but they have been trending slightly "under" (4-3) their past seven games. Play Hawks-Hornets "Under"
