The set-up: Charlotte comes in very hungry to break a three-game slide. So that's important to me when betting on an "over," as having teams which will kill themselves to try and get a win is always a good thing. And here's the perfect opponet to do that against, as the Hawks are conceding 112.3 PPG.

The pick: Charlotte though faces an equally as hungry Atlanta side, which is in fact one of the best in the league on the offensive end by averaging 118.3 PPG. Charlotte has allowed an average of 117.3 PPG over its last three, so expect Trae Young and the home side to push the pace from start to finish. This number is a little low in my opinion.

This is a 9* TOTAL COACH'S CORNER on the OVER Hornets/Hawks.
