The Charlotte Hornets (1-0) and the Atlanta Hawks (1-0) are set to clash on Friday night at 7:30 PM ET at the State Farm Arena. Both teams are seeking to build early momentum in the season and with both being divisional rivals, there's extra motivation to claim a win.

Meanwhile, Charlotte stands as the underdog at +175, translating to a 35% likelihood of an upset.

Atlanta managed a 120-116 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in their last outing, perhaps signaling the start of a turnaround. On the flip side, Charlotte's performance has been rocky, dropping 37 of their last 50 games, despite starting this season with a tight 110-105 win over the Houston Rockets. The Hornets' triumph was an unexpected upset, as they entered that contest as an 8.5-point underdog with just a 26% chance of winning.

Bettors keen on player props should take note of Zaccharie Risacher's scoring potential. The betting market for his points has been active, with sharp bettors pushing the prop total from over 9.5 points to 10.5. Risacher's performance could be a key factor in determining the outcome of the game.

With both teams eager to establish themselves early in the season, this matchup promises an exciting contest. Atlanta will aim to get a second straight win to open their season, while Charlotte seeks to carry their winning momentum forward as well.
