Hawks at Nets picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 117, Hawks 108
Moneyline
Even though the Nets are favored to win at home, AVOID the moneyline in this game. Taking Brooklyn straight up isn’t worth doing considering the minimal return you’ll receive if the Nets win.
Against the spread
NETS -6.5 (-120) appears to be the logical choice in this game with how both of these teams have been playing recently. The Hawks are without Murray, so G Trae Young is going to be relied on to initiate most of the offense.
The Hawks are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Plus, Atlanta is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 road meetings against Brooklyn.
Over/Under
With Murray sidelined for the Hawks, UNDER 227.5 (-105) is an intriguing wager in this game. Young can score points in bunches for the Hawks despite his shooting woes thus far, but he won’t be enough to hit the Over.
The Hawks have hit the Under in 13 of their last 17 road games against a team with a winning home record. Meanwhile, the Nets have gone 4-1 to the Under in their last 5 games.
