Nets at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 124, Nets 111
Moneyline
The Hawks are 3rd in the NBA with 122.4 PPG and push the pace at the 4th-best rate. The Nets won't have enough to win a track meet.
The HAWKS -160 are right at my ML limit, but I could see passing and taking the spread.
Against the spread
The Hawks are due after losing 4 straight at home, and they just dropped 152. They have not scored fewer than 114 points this year. I like the HAWKS -3.5 (-110) a lot in this spot.
Over/Under
This could go either way and will depend on how well Brooklyn hits its shots. The Nets are tied for 18th with 113.1 PPG and 18th with a 46.7% mark from the floor. The Nets are 7-6 O/U, while the Hawks are 9-4.
LEAN OVER 233.5 (-115).
