Warriors at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 114, Hawks 111
Moneyline
PASS.
The Hawks are the better play here, especially with Curry sidelined; however, they are preferably taken on the spread instead of the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET HAWKS +2.5 (-110).
The Warriors have struggled to consistently cover as a favorite, going just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 in that position. They have had 2 of their last 4 games end with a 3-point margin as well, so they haven’t separated themselves in recent battles.
The Hawks have been on fire offensively, scoring at least 120 points in 5 of their last 7 games. That should continue Saturday, and against a team without their leading scorer, Atlanta should be able to keep things close. It is 4-3 ATS in its last 7 contests.
Back HAWKS +2.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).
The Warriors have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games and have scored 105 or fewer in 3 of those. They have allowed 114 or fewer in 5 straight as well, so their defense, led by Green, has been sturdy.
The Hawks are 3-3 O/U in their last 6 games and have scored 114 or fewer in 2 of their last 3. Atlanta’s defense has improved some in recent performances, allowing 110 or fewer in 2 of its last 4.
Take UNDER 233.5 (-110).
