I'm on the over of 219 in this matchup of Charlotte @ Atlanta for these reasons:

- This matchup has gone over this total in 9 of the last 10 meetings.

- Atlanta are favored by 11 but are the worst defense in this matchup, allowing 120 points to opponents on average.

- Hawks are on a losing streak. Allowing over 122 points in the last 3 straight (All losses) and 116 in the last 5 home games.

- Hornets have been putting up points on better defenses like Mavs, Orlando, and OKC this last 3 games. They shouldn't have any issues putting up points here.

- Hawks are going to explode with points here, as the Hornets defense is 22nd in the league and ATL will be aiming to get off this losing streak (so will the Hornets). A back and forth battle of young teams should go over this total.

Official Play: Over 219

Side Bet: Hornets +11

Hail Mary: Vasalijic Micic over 12.5 points
