Prediction

Nets 119, Hawks 113

Moneyline (ML)

The Nets have won six of their last 10 games and are 4-6 on the road this season. The Hawks are 5-16 overall on the season and only 3-7 at home. Brooklyn is a reasonable favorite at -143 Wednesday night. Back BROOKLYN even without Irving.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Brooklyn to win outright would profit $6.99.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Nets are ninth-worst against the spread on the road with a mark of 4-6 and come in 1.9 points per game below the cover line. Atlanta is 6-4 at home against the spread and comes in one point per game above the cover line.

The line has been moving around this morning, dropping from 4.5 to 2.5. Slight lean toward BROOKLYN (-2.5, -115) to win by five or more points Wednesday. It delivers an $8.70 profit on a $10 wager.

Over/Under (O/U)

The projected total is set at 224.5 (Over: -125, Under: +105). Brooklyn averages 112.2 points per game and Atlanta allows 117.2 per contest. These are two of the higher-paced teams, with Brooklyn ranking ninth at 102.8 possessions per game and Atlanta 12th at 101.8. Take the OVER (-125).

Hawks at Lakers: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 7 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Lakers 130, Hawks 108

Moneyline (ML)

The Lakers are -1112. The Hawks are +700.

Can Atlanta even keep up with the Los Angeles? Looking at the Hawks’ Saturday outing at the L.A. Clippers, that answer would appear to be a resounding no. Atlanta gave up 150 points to the other Los Angeles team in a 49-point loss. Expecting a resilient Atlanta performance on the back end of a back-to-back is asking a lot.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Lakers to win outright returns a profit of $0.90. It is that chalky of a pick.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The better play for this game is taking the LAKERS -14.5 points at +100 odds. A Los Angeles cover here (win by 15 or more points) returns a profit of $10 on a $10 wager.

The Hawks are 2-4 ATS and the blowout loss to the Clippers skews their cover projections completely. Considering that earlier on this trip Atlanta was blown out by 16 at the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles should beat this spread. The Lakers are 5-2 at home ATS while exceeding projections by 3.5 points per contest.

Over/Under (O/U)

Just take the OVER 218.5 (-106). Watch the numbers as they may inch upward a bit before tip-off. The Lakers easily could score 120 points or more like they did against the Golden State Warriors in a 26-point rout. Having Anthony Davis and LeBron James together in the lineup for this game seals Atlanta’s fate and the Over likely as well.

Hawks-Clippers odds: Clips are huge favorites at home

Previewing Saturday’s Atlanta Hawks at Los Angeles Clippers sports betting odds and lines, with NBA matchup analysis and picks.

The Atlanta Hawks (4-7) travel to meet the Los Angeles Clippers (7-5) Saturday at 10:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Hawks-Clippers odds and lines, with NBA betting advice and tips around the matchup.

Place a legal sports bet on this NBA action or other games at BetMGM.

Hawks at Clippers: Key injuries

Hawks: SF Chandler Parsons (knee) is expected to be a go. SG Evan Turner (Achilles) is questionable and SG Vince Carter (personal) is listed as out. SG Kevin Huerter (shoulder) will be sidelined at least another seven to 10 days, while PF John Collins remains suspended through Dec. 23.

Clippers: SF Kawhi Leonard (knee) is listed as questionable, as is PG Patrick Beverley (calf). If Kawhi is unable to play, that moves the needle on this game quite a bit. He is expected to be ready, but could be rested as a precaution. Be careful.

Hawks at Clippers: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Clippers 121, Hawks 106

Moneyline (ML)

PASS. The Clippers (-715) are expected to take care of the Hawks, but if Leonard and Beverley were each unable to play, that makes this much less of a certainty. Even if they were to play, laying more than seven times your return is just not good gambling. It’s foolish.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered that Los Angeles wins profits $0.14 if the Bucks prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $1.40, $20 to win $2.80, $71.50 to win $10).

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Take the CLIPPERS (-9.5, –125), but wait a bit until shortly before tip-off. We’ll know a lot more about Kawhi’s status leading up to the game. If he were not to play, go lightly. If he is able to play, go a little heavier.

The Hawks are just 1-4 against the spread in the past five games overall, while the Clippers are 5-0 ATS across their past five. The Clips are 5-2 ATS in the last seven games overall, and 13-6 ATS in the past 19 against Southeast Division foes, too.

Over/under (O/U)

The TOTAL 227.5 is just too risky. This game should be right around the number if Leonard is able to play. If he doesn’t go, that’s a huge chunk of offense missing. It’s best to avoid the total in this one due to uncertainty.
