[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Hawks (36-41) take on the Denver Nuggets (53-24) Saturday. Tip-off from Ball Arena is set for 9 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks vs. Nuggets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Denver leads 1-0 with a 129-122 road win Dec. 11

Atlanta lost 109-95 vs. the Dallas Mavericks Thursday while failing to cover as an 11.5-point road underdog. The Hawks committed 21 turnovers while also having no scorer eclipse the 15-point mark. The Hawks had won back-to-back games before Thursday’s loss.

Denver suffered a 102-100 loss at the hands of the LA Clippers Thursday while failing to cover as a 3.5-point road favorite. C Nikola Jokic continued his MVP campaign with a 36-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist triple double, but he just missed the game-winning 3 at the buzzer. Thursday’s loss ended a streak of back-to-back wins for the Nuggets.

Hawks at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 118, Hawks 104

Moneyline

PASS.

I expect the Nuggets to pick up the win, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as -720 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN NUGGETS -12 (-110).

Denver has covered the spread in back-to-back matchups vs. Atlanta and is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. The Nuggets are also 3-0 ATS in their last 3 vs. the Hawks in Denver. The Nuggets have covered in each of their last 3 matchups with an Eastern Conference opponent.

This is a lean because the Nuggets have been bad ATS lately and subpar on the season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 221.5 (–110).

The Over has hit in each of the last 4 Atlanta-Denver matchups and is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these squads in Denver. For Atlanta, the Over is 8-2 in its last 10 overall and 42-35 on the season.

Be aware that the Under has hit in 4 of Denver’s last 5 overall.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Mavericks (45-30) welcome the Atlanta Hawks (36-40) to American Airlines Center Thursday. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks at Mavericks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Mavericks lead 1-0

The Mavericks beat the Hawks in Atlanta 148-143 on Jan. 26, covering as a 2-point road underdog. The Over 245.5 hit with ease.

Dallas lost to the Golden State Warriors 104-100 Tuesday, failing to cover as a 1-point home underdog. The loss snapped a 7-game winning streak.

Hawks at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 123, Hawks 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hawks (+430) are already without several key players and will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. They should have tired legs and aren’t worth the wager as a huge underdog. Similarly, the Mavs (-590) are far too expensive to play outright.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS +11 (-108).

Atlanta had high expectations coming into the season, and it hasn’t hit many of those ceilings. However, it has been good when counted out. The Hawks are 4-0 ATS this season when an underdog of 9.5 or greater, winning outright in 3 of those games.

Two of those came against the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics and were within the last 2 weeks. Since the start of March, Dallas is just 1-1 ATS as a favorite of 9 or greater.

That said, expect Atlanta to continue exceeding expectations and take HAWKS +11 (-108).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 230.5 (-110).

The Hawks are 8-1 O/U in their last 9 games, scoring at least 113 in every game since March 21 (8 games). They have allowed 122 or more points in 3 of those as well. Atlanta ranks 27th in defensive rating, making it unlikely it can slow down Doncic and company.

The Mavs have swayed the other way and are 2-7 O/U in their last 9, but have tallied at least 125 in 2 of their last 4. The Mavs should get theirs, and the Hawks have been playing well enough to assume they can stay hot.

Take OVER 230.5 (-110).

Pistons at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 115, Pistons 101

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Hawks (-750), who are 20-18 at home, to beat the Pistons (+525), who are riddled with injuries and just 6-30 on the road.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS -11.5 (-115).

Detroit is dealing with an array of injuries and as a result has failed to cover the spread in 5 of its last 8 games, including 2 of its last 3 on the road as a double-digit underdog. It has scored 99 or fewer points in 3 of its last 4 games and will be unable to keep up with a Hawks squad that has covered in 5 of its last 6 games, including 4 of its last 5 at home.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 223.5 (-110).

The Pistons have allowed 110 or more points in 6 of their last 8 games while scoring 101 or more points in 4 of their last 7.

Atlanta has hit the Over in 8 of its last 10 games including 7 of its last 8. It has scored at least 110 points in 9 of its last 10 games while allowing 122 in 2 of its last 3 and 118 or more points in 6 of its last 10.

While Atlanta should carry a majority of the weight, with Detroit’s recent track record they will not be able to score enough for the Over to hit.

The Bulls are 37-37-1 ATS this season while the Hawks are just 27-47 ATS. Atlanta is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 road games and 2-3 ATS in its last 5 as an underdog.

Season series: Tied 1-1.

The Hawks are coming off a 123-122 home overtime win over the Boston Celtics Thursday, covering as a 16-point underdog. G Dejounte Murray had 44 points, 7 boards and 7 assists. They are just 27-46 against the spread (ATS) on the season but have covered in 4 straight games and in 5 of their last 7.

Bucks at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 118, Hawks 116

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bucks are the better team and should come out on top, but they aren’t worth a play at a juiced -166. The Hawks are surging and have value as an underdog, but their spread is the better option here.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS +3.5 (-110).

Atlanta is surging, and Murray has been carrying most of the load. The Hawks have won 4 straight at home, 2 of those coming against the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics.

Atlanta has scored at least 120 in 4 straight games and have the offensive firepower to hang with the Bucks, who will be without Lillard, their second-leading scorer. Milwaukee has lost 3 of its last 5 and struggled to cover on the road in March. It is 3-4 ATS on the road in the calendar month.

Considering the trends for both teams and Atlanta’s recent success against quality opponents, back HAWKS +3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 223 (-110).

If there’s one thing both teams have in common, it is that they have scored with ease as of late. The Bucks have tallied at least 114 in 6 of their last 7. They are 4-2-1 O/U in that stretch.

Atlanta is 40-33 O/U on the season and has gone Over in 6 straight games. It has scored at least 115 in its last 5 and has allowed at least 118 in 4 of its last 6.

LEAN OVER 223 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Celtics (57-15) battle the Atlanta Hawks (33-39) Thursday. Tip-off at State Farm Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Celtics vs. Hawks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Celtics lead 2-1; Hawks surprised Boston 120-118 as 10.5-point underdogs Monday as the Over (224.5) cashed

The Celtics had their 9-game winning streak snapped in Atlanta Monday, and in a scheduled twist, they face the Hawks for a 2nd straight game. It’s not a true back-to-back, though, as Atlanta faced the Portland Trail Blazers Wednesday night, with the Hawks winning 120-106.

Boston is still 8-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 10 games, despite the loss, while cashing the Over in 4 in a row and 6 of the past 7 contests.

Atlanta has won 3 in a row while scoring at least 120 points in each of the outings. The Hawks have covered those 3 games, too, while hitting the Over in 5 consecutive contests.

Celtics at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 123, Hawks 111

Moneyline

The Celtics (-1200) will cost you 12 times your potential return, and there is never a reason to bet such heavy favorites, straight up or otherwise. In fact, Monday’s game should serve as a cautionary tale, as the C’s were laying double-digits on the road, and the Hawks (+750) won outright.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The HAWKS +16 (-110) is a strong play catching 8 buckets. They just won outright as 10.5-point underdogs Monday night.

The books might be overthinking this a bit. Perhaps they figure that loss lit a fire under the Celtics -16 (-110), and they’ll come out mad. Perhaps there is concern with Atlanta playing a 3rd game in 4 days, and the legs might not be there. All valid concerns, certainly, but it’s hard to get past the result of Monday’s game, head-to-head.

Boston should exact some revenge, but Atlanta is catching an awful lot of points, especially on its home floor, and it is playing well lately.

Over/Under

OVER 226 (-110) is a slam-dunk play in the ATL.

The Celtics have been so-so on Over plays this season, splitting totals right down the middle at 35-35-2. However, the Over is on a 4-0 run while going 6-1-1 in the past 8 games, including Monday’s 120-118 loss on a total of 224.5. Boston has 117 or more points in 10 striaght games while allowing 113 or more points in 3 of the past 4 outings.

The Hawks have also been rocking the Over, hitting high in 5 in a row, with 120 or more points of offense in 3 straight games while yielding 118 or more points in 3 of the past 5 contests.

Trail Blazers at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 116, Trail Blazers 103

Moneyline

PASS.

Atlanta (-590) should pick up the win, especially if Murray is good to play, but the Hawks are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN HAWKS -11 (-114).

Atlanta has covered the spread in back-to-back outings and is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 home games. It has covered in 2 of its last 3 matchups vs. Portland. Atlanta is also 3-1 ATS in its last 4 meetings with Portland in Atlanta.

Be aware that the Blazers have been the much better team ATS this season, and Atlanta’s multitude of key injuries does make this bet even riskier.

Over/Under

BET OVER 214.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 5 of Portland’s last 6 overall and is 2-1 in its last 3 road games. For Atlanta, the Over is 4-0 in its last 4 games and is 38-33 on the season. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Portland-Atlanta matchups in Atlanta, being 4-2 in the last 6 meetings overall.

Celtics at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 124, Hawks 109

Moneyline

The Celtics (-700) will cost you 7 times your potential return, and while Boston is easily the better team this season, it’s still risky to lay that kind of money on the road. However, the Hawks (+500) cannot be trusted, either, however tempting it is to try and multiply up by 5 times.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The CELTICS -11.5 (-112) are a solid play on the road, as Boston has been rolling up huge offensive totals, while covering at a regular clip.

The Celtics offense has racked up at least 117 points in 9 straight games, and they have covered 8 of those outings. Boston has also covered 6 of the past 7 tries as a double-digit favorite.

On the flip side, the Hawks +11.5 (-108) are just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games, while going 2-5 ATS this season as an underdog of 7.5 or more points.

Over/Under

OVER 225 (-110) is the play. The Over has cashed in 3 straight outings for the Hawks, while going 4-1 in the past 5 outings. Atlanta’s offense came alive last time out with 132 points against the lowly Charlotte Hornets. The team has allowed 124 or more points in 3 of the past 5 games.

For the Celtics, their offense is good for at least 116 in 9 consecutive games, while hitting that point total in 16 of the past 18 outings. The Over is on a 5-1-1 run for the C’s, while cashing at a 4-2-1 clip in the past 7 road contests.
