Mack has cashed three times this week with Charlotte and she is going back to the well in this game. This game means nothing for Charlotte; they are out of the playoffs, and Atlanta has secured a play-in spot. Atlanta is coming into this game off of three losses and off of overtime with the Heat last night so they will be on no rest and they still have some players out. The Hornets are on the second leg of a back to back as well. Charlotte however, have improved in their last five games as they got some of their players back. Their top scorers are out for the season but they have some other players back that are contributing to the offense. They have improved their scoring percentages and are giving up less points on defense in these last five games. This may be too many points for Atlanta to cover in this game on their second leg of a back to back. Charlotte has had success in covering six of their last ten games against the Hawks as they have dominated the series with Atlanta. The Hawks struggle at home and are 5-9 against the spread at home with no rest while the Hornets are 9-5 against the spread with no rest. Take the points.

Best bet: take the points with Charlotte.
