The Atlanta Hawks have struggled much of this season, yet have found some momentum after winning three consecutive games to move them into first place in the Southeast Division and seven above the bottom half of the Eastern Conference. On Wednesday night they will take on Charlotte Hornets looking to maintain their recent streak.
The Hornets have shown signs of life recently with two impressive wins against playoff-bound Miami Heat on Monday and Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday - Miles Bridges scored 35 points while Mark Williams chipped in 24 and LaMelo Ball made 15. These victories come against teams with records between 16-48.
Charlotte is a strong defensive team, but has struggled offensively this year. They tend to slip into shooting slumps that make scoring consistent difficult; ranking 27th out of 30 NBA teams when it comes to total points per game scored and 28th for three-pointers made.
Trae Young has been an essential piece for the Hawks over their last three games and he's performed admirably, averaging 23.8 points and 11.5 assists over that span. Unfortunately, however, he's been dealing with a quad contusion and remains day-to-day for Wednesday's matchup; should he not be available, Caris LeVert and Dyson Daniels may fill his spot instead for Atlanta.
