Atlanta are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games.

Atlanta are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.

Charlotte are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.

Charlotte are 2-10 SU in their last 12 games at home.

Prediction

As the spread line indicates, this should be a close game, both teams have similar statistics and it might get decided by one posession game. I think the safest bet is the over, both teams have been involved in high scoring games and don't play much defense, 3's will rain on this game, take the over.
