Clippers at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 121, Clippers 115

Moneyline

BET ATLANTA (+125).

The Clippers are playing great ball right now but they are wrapping up a 7-game East Coast road trip. Monday will be their 3rd game in 4 days. The Hawks are rested and in a groove, playing at home since Jan. 26. The Hawks have won 2 of their last 3 head-to-head battles vs. the Clippers.

Against the spread

I obviously like the Hawks to win this game outright, but for a little insurance, I suggest DIVVYING 1½ UNITS between the HAWKS (+125) MONEYLINE and the HAWKS +3.5 (-115) SPREAD, with a lean toward the moneyline

They have covered the spread in their last 3-games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 243.5 (-105).

Again, the Clippers have to be exhausted as they wrap up this road trip that started 10 days ago. They have been Under the total in 5 of their last 6 games. L.A. is also one of the slowest teams in the league, 5th slowest in terms of pace of play.

Despite being one of the fastest paced teams in the league, Atlanta has been Under in 5 of its last 10 games.
