Jalen Johnson Points Prop is currently Over/Under 23.5 (-110/-120).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Hawks rank as the 9th-highest scoring offense in the NBA while playing away from home this year.
The matchup vs. Charlotte is a positive one for shots from the field; when the Hornets are at home, the other team's starting PFs have tallied the most baskets per game in the NBA this year (8.7).
The Hawks have played at the 4th-fastest pace in the league over the last 5 games.
Favors Under
The Atlanta Hawks are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions in this game from facing the 3rd-most sluggish pace home offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Hornets).
The Atlanta Hawks rank as the 6th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra chances for scoring and assists).
This year, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 3.3 free throws per game (8th-lowest in the league) against the Charlotte Hornets, facing an uphill battle to get to the charity stripe.
