Hawks at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 124, Hawks 115
Moneyline
PASS.
The Raptors (-270) should win, but there is no need to risk 2.7 times the potential profit even though the Hawks should struggle to keep it close. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET RAPTORS -7.5 (+100).
The Raptors are playing their best basketball of the season and the Hawks are in a letdown spot coming off an emotional, last-second win at the Pacers. Toronto is 2nd in offensive efficiency over the last 3 games and should have no trouble outscoring the Hawks, who are 20th in points over that same span with 110.0 per game. Lay the points.
Over/Under
BET OVER 231.5 (-112).
Toronto is averaging 124.3 points over the last 3 games and has a history of playing high-scoring games vs. Atlanta. The Over is 7-1 in Toronto’s last 6 games vs. teams with a losing record and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these 2 teams. Look for these trends to continue Saturday.
