The Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks were frequently tight in the standings this season.
Yet their games against each other haven't always been close matchups.
But just winning is the objective for Wednesday night's Eastern Conference play-in game in Atlanta.
"We are going to do everything we can (to move on)," Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic said. "Playoff mindset, and we are ready."
This matchup pits the No. 9 seed Hawks against the No. 10 seed Hornets for the right to advance to another game.
The Hawks opened as 4.5-point favorites at BetMGM but the line had moved to 5.
