ATL vs CHA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Atlanta Hawks vs Charlotte Hornets

ATL vs CHA Dream11: The Play-in tournament has lodged two games already and we have four remaining. In this game, the ninth-ranked Atlanta Hawks will take on the tenth-ranked Charlotte Hornets. The winner of this game will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers and the one who nabs the game will clinch the eighth position to take on the Miami Heat. Hawks will host the game and they have been amazing on their home floor.

The Hawks have the momentum booster in the form of Trae Young, someone who can take control of the game both as a scorer and a playmaker. Bogdan Bogdanovic has boosted his game in the second half of the season while Gallinari, Hunter, and Capela round off a strong roster overall.

On the other hand, the Hornets have been struggling a bit but they have some terrific shot-creators in the form of LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, Miles Bridges, and Kelly Oubre Jr. The defense of the team has been a bit suspect and it can hurt them here playing away from here.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Match-ups

The classic match-up here is surely between Hawks’ purveyor Trae Young and LaMelo Ball. Lately, Ball has picked up his game both in terms of scoring and playmaking while Trae has been one of the best in that regard. Both players are sure of similar brand but perhaps Ball is a better defender, however, Trae has been scoring 30+ more often than the leading Point Guard for the Hornets. This has to be a decisive match-up.

Terry Rozier has been a bit off for the Hornets lately but he has had some resounding offensive performances during the Playoffs in the past. Other than him, Kelly Oubre Jr. will come off the bench and although he has been a bit erratic, this is the perfect time to effect a big shooting night off the bench. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter are two off-guards for the Hawks. All these four players are amazing shooters and Bogdanovic has been the highest yielding lately. De’Andre Hunter at the wing will be important as the slasher.

For the Hornets, Miles Bridges can be a key and he has had a breakout season as a scorer. On the other hand, for the Hawks, while Danilo Gallinari has been not as high-scoring as Bridges, his Playoffs experience can come in handy. This is a highly important match-up too. In the middle, Clint Capela can outmatch Plumlee as he is much more athletic and physical. PJ Washington for the Hornets has been a terrific presence at the big Forward and the Hornets do look deeper. However, overall, the Hawks have beaten elite teams on their home floor and the Hornets will have to pull off their best performance of the season. Martin will bring some hustle as the defensive wing off the bench

Fantasy related tips

Of course, Trae and Ball are the major enforcers here. If we dive into the Hawks’ rotations, they will plug in the lineup of Trae-Huerter-Hunter-Gallinari-Capela-Bogdanovic-Wright-Okongwu, I think Trae, Bogdanovic, Gallinari, and Hunter can end up playing 35+ minutes while Capela will play 23-28 minutes and Okongwu and Wright sharing 8-10 minutes. On the other hand, the major rotation for the Hornets seems to be Ball-Rozier-Bridges-Washington-Plumlee-Oubre-Martin and perhaps Ball, Rozier, and Bridges will play around 35 minutes or so. Washington, Plumlee, Oubre, and Martin will play around 20-25 minutes.
