The Charlotte Hornets will look to rebound from their first loss of the season against the Detroit Pistons, as they take on the Atlanta Hawks. This will be the home opener for the Queen City team. In the previous game, Dwight Howard owned the rim when hauling in a total of fifteen rebounds.
With injuries plaguing the Hornets, they will have to get a win without Nicolas Batum, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Michael Carter-Williams, and also Cody Zeller who is dealing with a bruised knee.
