This is an 8* play on the Charlotte Hornets.

While we obviously wouldn't be shocked by the outright upset today, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as we look for the home side to exact a little revenge from an early season loss to the Hawks. Atlanta won 112-101 in New York on Thursday and then hung on for a 97-94 home victory over Charlotte on Friday. There's no question that Charlotte will be "hungry" here after opening the season 0-2, having not dropped three in a row to open a campaign since 2010. The Hornets roared back and nearly overcame a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter vs. ATL, but were ultimately unable to overcome 20 turnovers which led to 26 Atlanta points. One player to keep your eyes on today is Charlotte's Kemba Walker, the guard is averaging 18.7 points in his last three at home vs. the Hawks. Note that Atlanta is just 17-19 ATS in its last 36 following a divisional contest, while Charlotte is 48-41 ATS the last two seasons in revenging a loss vs. an opponent and 8-5 ATS in its last 13 as a home dog of three points or less. Play on the HORNETS.
