Hawks at Kings odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 120, Hawks 116
Money line
The Hawks have won only one of their last five games and they continue to deal with a number of their best frontcourt players being out.
The Kings have won three of their last four games at home and are 5-6 this season against the Eastern Conference.
Take the KINGS (-120).
Against the spread
An ATS bet and a money line bet are almost the same thing with the line that close.
Only one of the Kings’ wins this season is by only one point. The Hawks have not had a one-point loss this season, so it comes down to whether you like the Hawks or the Kings to win this game outright.
Since I like the Kings tonight, the ATS bet gives you a little more value than the M/L.
Take the KINGS -1.5 (-110).
Over/Under
This one is easy.
Atlanta’s last four games have averaged a total of 250.5.
Four of the Kings’ last six games have hit the Over as well.
The Hawks aren’t stopping anyone and both teams can score.
Take OVER 229.5 (-110).
