The Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets battle four times each season and the 2017-2018 campaign is no different. With that said, it has been quite a while since the two teams have taken the floor together, that will change in short order over the next few days.
The second battle of the season will take place on Friday evening Charlotte and that was also the site of the first meeting (and the second game of the season for Atlanta) on Oct. 20. That result was a lopsided Hornets victory and, while Charlotte has very much struggled since then, this remains a difficult spot for the Hawks.
