Hawks 121, Raptors 117

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no profit to be made on the Hawks (-275) to beat this Raptors team that is 8-20 on the road this season and 3-6 in its last 9 overall.

Against the spread

BET RAPTORS +6.5 (-105).

The Hawks are just 17-38 ATS this season and have failed to cover in 2 of their last 3 home games and in 2 straight overall. Toronto is a much better 27-29 ATS this season, has covered in back-to-back games, and is coming off a dominant win over the Nets. While the Raptors may not have enough to get past the Hawks, they should be able to stay within reach Friday.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 245.5 (-105).

Toronto has hit the Under in 4 of its last 5 games and has scored 121 or fewer in 7 of its last 10. It has allowed 122 or fewer in 5 of its last 6. Atlanta has hit the Under in 2 of its last 3 and has scored 122 or fewer in 3 of its last 5. While its defense has struggled, it is playing in its 1st game back from the All-Star break and will have fresh legs.
