Spurs at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 128, Spurs 124

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hawks (-310) are the better team but have lost 4 of their last 5. A sprinkle on the Spurs could be worth a look, but playing them on the spread is the better value.

Against the spread

LEAN SPURS +8 (-108).

The Spurs have been a covering machine as of late, and they have covered well on the road too. They are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 road games and 4-1 ATS over their last 5. While San Antonio hasn't collected wins, it has played better over the last few weeks.

On that note, the Hawks are the worst covering team in the NBA at home, just a 3-14 ATS record. They can't be trusted to cover despite having 1 of the better backcourts in the NBA.

At this size of a spread, take SPURS +8 (-108).

Over/Under

BET OVER 245.5 (-112).

This game may be played at a chaotic pace with little defense. The Spurs sit 3rd in pace, while the Hawks sit 5th, which suggests it could be a high-tempo game. The Spurs are 22-14-2 O/U, while the Hawks are 23-15 O/U, having gone Over in 4 of their last 7.

Both teams also rank in the bottom 6 in defensive rating. There was no overtime in the 1st matchup and a total of 272 points were scored. Expect a similar outcome, and take OVER 245.5 (-112).
