Hawks at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 124, Raptors 120
Moneyline
It's tough to have confidence in either of these teams given their recent woes, but I'll take the HAWKS (+105) assuming Young is active. The Raptors have lost 6 straight games against Eastern Conference opponents.
Against the spread
HAWKS +1.5 (-110) is how I'd wager on the spread with Atlanta fully capable of winning this game outright. While both teams are struggling recently, the Hawks at least have their offensive success to lean on as they are 5th in offensive rating.
On the other hand, the Raptors are 20th in offensive rating and own the 5th-worst true-shooting percentage in the league.
Over/Under
With this being a massive pace-up game for the Raptors, I'll side with OVER 240.5 (-110) in Wednesday's matchup. The Hawks play at the 3rd-fastest pace in the NBA and convert a solid 37% of their shots beyond the arc (tied for 12th).
Atlanta is 14-8 to the Over this season, and both teams are 6-4 to the Over in their last 10 games overall. Not to mention, the Hawks and the Raptors were both involved in games with 251-plus points scored their last times out.
