Atlanta Hawks Breakdown:

The Hawks are clinging to a play-in spot but have been shaky, going 4-6 in their last 10 games and committing too many turnovers. They allow an average of 122.2 points per game over that stretch, struggling especially on the perimeter. Trae Young and Onyeka Okongwu continue to lead the way, but Atlanta’s defense makes it tough to trust them on the road, especially laying double digits.

Key Players:

  • Trae Young: 24.1 PPG, 12.6 APG

  • Onyeka Okongwu: 30 points and 14 rebounds in last game

Brooklyn Nets Breakdown:

The Nets are out of the playoff picture, but they’re still playing with effort. They’ve gone 3-7 in their last 10, but just knocked off a strong Pelicans team thanks to efficient ball movement and hot three-point shooting. Brooklyn has struggled overall this year but can keep games close, especially when shooting well from deep.

Key Players:

  • Trendon Watford: 22 points, 5 assists in last game

  • Drew Timme: 16 points, 9 rebounds

Betting Trends:

Atlanta Hawks:

  • 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10

  • 7 of last 10 games went Over the total

Brooklyn Nets:

  • 5-5 ATS in last 10 games

  • 3-2 ATS in last 5 home games as double-digit underdogs

Exact Score Prediction:

Atlanta Hawks 117 – Brooklyn Nets 109

Our Best Bet:

Brooklyn Nets +12.5 (-110)

Atlanta plays at the second fastest tempo in the NBA, which inflates spreads and opens the door for backdoor covers. The Hawks haven’t shown enough consistency to justify laying this many points on the road, especially against a Nets team that’s still competing and just beat New Orleans. Brooklyn’s improved three-point shooting and balanced scoring give them enough offense to hang within the number.
