Hawks at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 114, Hawks 108

Moneyline

PASS.

Given how close the spread and moneyline are, the value is on the former. Take the home team's spread as the best play in this battle.

Against the spread

BET NETS -1.5 (-114).

While recent trends favor the Hawks, Atlanta is the 3rd-worst covering team on the road in the NBA this season. It is just 9-17 ATS away from home. As an underdog, it is even worse, at just 8-18 ATS. Atlanta will also be missing its most electric scoring option as well.

The Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5, all road games, and 1-0-1 ATS over their last 2 at home. They play better at home, while Atlanta struggles on the road.

Take NETS -1.5 (-114).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 223.5 (-110).

With Young and Thomas out, scoring may not come easily to either side. One team is missing its leading scorer, while the other is missing its 2nd-leading scorer.

The Nets have gone Under in 5 straight games and in 9 of their last 10. They are 25-32-1 O/U on the season.

The Hawks have gone Under in 4 straight, allowing 92 and 97 in their last 2 games.

That said, back UNDER 223.5 (-110).
