Command Analysis
Hawks put up a great performance in the first half of the season, but after injuries team started to perform inconsistently. Nate McMillan's team was at the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference, but eventually managed to overtake Charlotte in the standings.
Atlanta will try to earn the play-off spot, but for that they need to win two matches. For starters, Hawks will have to take on Charlotte. It won't be an easy match for Trae Young and co.
Hornets lack experience, but Michael Jordan can still be happy with his club's performance, they are still in the game. James Borrego's men were unable to clinch a straight play-off spot, but put up a decent performance in recent matches.

Without a doubt, it will be an extremely emotional match. Charlotte managed to improve in recent games, but there is still room for an improvement. James Borrego's men know that they won't get a second chance, so they will have to take their chances.
Atlanta, with Trae Young, Bojan Bogdanovic and John Collins in the line-up, should be able to put up a fight to any opponent. Hawks will play at their opponent and it is a huge factor, because they won four most recent home matches. We think that hosts will have more chances for a success.
