Tonight is the first meeting between the I-85 rivals, Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks. With Both squads looking strong early, this Southeastern matchup has garnered more attention than usual. Both teams have added strong additions over the off-season with ATL getting their prodigal son, Dwight Howard while the Hornets get a healthy MKG back.
The key deciding factor could be the bench play. The Hawks have one of the strongest benches that thrive while the starters rest, while The Hornets' bench is significantly weaker after losing key players like Jeremy Lin and Courtney Lee. Expect Kemba to look to continue his strong offensive performance versus one of the league's best Defenses. Meanwhile, Charlotte hopes they can capitalize on a hobbled Dwight Howard who's returning from a thigh injury.

Hornets:
G Kemba Walker
G Nic Batum
F Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
F Marvin Williams
C Tyler Zeller
Hawks:
