The Hawks play much better when they are at home and they play a lot better just in general there. The Hornets are on a 4 game winning streak but they have not been playing well on the road this season and Atlanta is a tough place to go into and win a game. The Hawks have also won a lot of their home games this season by 10 points or more. The best bet to place in this game is on the Hawks to cover the spread in this game.
