Nets at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 126, Hawks 113
Moneyline
Even though the Nets should secure a win on Wednesday, I’ll PASS on the moneyline. Betting on Brooklyn to win straight up isn’t worth doing considering the minimal return you’ll receive if the Nets do win.
Against the spread
NETS -5.5 (-110) is an enticing wager with how well Brooklyn has been playing recently. The status of Hawks G Trae Young is also uncertain after he exited Tuesday’s game against the Pacers with an injury.
The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
Even if Young is inactive, OVER 236.5 (-112) appears to be the ideal choice in this game. The Nets are the No. 1-ranked team in true-shooting percentage and we’ll get enough points from the Hawks late in the game to hit the Over.
The Nets are 7-3 to the Over in their last 10 games. The Hawks are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games following a loss.
