Atlanta Hawks at Detroit Pistons odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s Atlanta Hawks at Detroit Pistons NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Atlanta Hawks (34-27) travel to meet the Detroit Pistons (18-43) Monday at Little Caesars Arena. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Pistons odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks picked up an impressive 111-104 victory Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks as the Under cashed. Atlanta has won two in a row, and four of the past five, while also going 4-1 ATS during the stretch.

The Pistons are on a three-game skid, recently falling 115-109 on the road against the Indiana Pacers Saturday. Detroit last dropped four in a row March 21-27.

The last time these teams faced each other was Jan. 20 at State Farm Arena, as Atlanta won 123-115 in overtime. The Hawks also won at home 128-120 Dec. 28 as the Pistons covered the 10.5-point number. The Over cashed in both games.

Hawks at Pistons: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hawks 118, Pistons 109

Money line (ML)

The Hawks (-225) will cost you more than two times your potential return, and that’s just too risky on the road. Atlanta won the most recent meeting in late January, but it needed overtime to do so.

AVOID.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The HAWKS -5.5 (-110) have cashed in four of the past five, and 11 of the previous 14 games overall. The Pistons have failed to cover in each of the past two. They haven’t had three straight non-covers since Feb. 17-21. Still, Atlanta has cashed in seven of its past eight as a favorite, while hitting in four of the past five against the number on the road.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 220.5 (-110) is my favorite play in this matchup. The Over has connected in each of the first two meetings this season, and four straight meetings in this series overall.

The Over is also 6-2 across the past eight on the road, while going 7-1 in the past eight as a road favorite. The Over is also 6-1 in the past seven for Atlanta in the second end of a back-to-back.

While the Under is 5-1-1 in the past seven for Detroit, the Over is 4-1-1 in the past six as a home underdog.

Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Atlanta Hawks (33-27) host the Milwaukee Bucks (37-22) Sunday at the State Farm Arena for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Bucks-Hawks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Milwaukee just swept and covered against the Philadelphia 76ers in a two-game miniseries Thursday and yesterday.

The Bucks have won five of their past seven games (5-2 ATS) and are just 2 games back in the loss column of the first-place Brooklyn Nets in the East.

A banged-up Atlanta routed the Miami Heat 118-103 Friday to win its third time in the past four games and six in the last eight (6-2 ATS).

The Hawks’ loss to the New York Knicks Wednesday gave the Knicks the tiebreaker making them the 4-seed and Atlanta the 5-seed even though both of the same records as of Sunday.

The Bucks have beaten the Hawks by double digits in both of their first two meetings this season.

Bucks at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bucks 123, Hawks 108

Money line (ML)

PASS since Milwaukee is the right side, but the Bucks (-250) is too rich for my blood, especially considering a Trae Young-less Atlanta team stomped a surging Miami side in its previous game.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

BET BUCKS -6 (-110) for 1 unit because both Capela and Young missed  Milwaukee’s 129-115 win against Atlanta Jan. 24.

In this Bucks-Hawks game, Hunter scored a team-high 33 points but is out with injury for this meeting, and Atlanta only grabbed five offensive boards when it averages 10.7 offensive rebounds per game.

Capela is a big reason Atlanta is third in offensive rebounding rate, and Milwaukee is third in defensive rebounding rate so his absence should be a major factor in this game.

Milwaukee is 14th in second-chance points allowed per game, and Atlanta is fourth in second-chance points per game, but that edge is dulled if Capela cannot play tonight.

Furthermore, the Bucks probably won’t look past an injury-depleted Hawks team since they are chasing the Nets for home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Bucks have the second-highest offensive rating in the Association over the past seven games and have gone Over the total in four of their last five.

Even if today’s Bucks-Hawks game gets into garbage time, Milwaukee can still extend its margin over Atlanta.

For instance, the Bucks put up 46 points in the fourth of their victory over the Sixers Friday with SG Donte DiVincenzo being the only starter that played in that quarter and he only was in for 1:03 minutes.

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 226.5 (-110) for a quarter unit.

Miami Heat at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Miami Heat at Atlanta Hawks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Miami Heat (31-28) drop by the State Farm Arena Thursday to play the host Atlanta Hawks (32-27) at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Heat-Hawks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Miami is on a three-game win streak with the latest being a 107-87 whooping of the San Antonio Spurs as 1.5-point road underdogs.

The Heat are in seventh place in the East (seeds 7-10 in each conference participate in a postseason play-in tournament), but are just 1 game behind the 5-seed Hawks.

Atlanta lost to the 4-seed New York Knicks 137-127 in overtime as 1.5-point road favorites in what could be a playoff preview.

Before the loss, Atlanta won back-to-back games and five of the previous six games from April 11-20.

These teams split their first two meetings of the season, both in Miami, with the victor winning by double digits and covering in each game. However, Heat’s Jimmy Butler missed both games.

Heat at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Heat 109, Hawks 100

Money line (ML)

PASS because Miami is the right side, but the Heat (-225) are too expensive for a money line favorite in this quirky NBA season.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

Wait until Capela’s official game status is announced because if he cannot play I “LIKE” the HEAT -5 (-110) for a 1 unit, but if Capela does play then I’d only “lean” to Miami covering the spread.

The Hawks will definitely be without Young, who’s one of the highest usage players in the league, and Young’s ability to get to the foul line wreaks havoc on other team’s defenses.

Atlanta is second in FTA/FG rate, and Young is in the 97th percentile of point guards in on-off team free-throw rate (according to CleaningTheGlass.com).

Also, the Hawks have the third-highest offensive rebounding rate in the Association as a team, and Capela has both the highest total and offensive rebounding rate of any player.

Furthermore, Capela averaged 15 points and 15.5 rebounds per game with 16 offensive rebounds in the first two Heat-Hawks games this season.

And again Butler missed these games, and he is in the 94th percentile of wings in team on-off defensive rebounding rate, according to CleaningTheGlass.com.

Finally, the Heat are 9-7 ATS as a road favorite whereas the Hawks are just 4-6 ATS as a home dog with a minus-4.6-point margin of victory.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 213.5 (-110) for a half unit because Atlanta could be without its two most impactful offensive players, and both teams are in the bottom-10 of pace.

Additionally, the Heat have gone Under the total in three straight and the Hawks are 8-13 O/U vs. teams with a winning record.

Atlanta Hawks at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Atlanta Hawks at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

After extending their winning streak to seven games Tuesday night, the New York Knicks (32-27) will be back on their home floor Wednesday as the Atlanta Hawks (32-26) come to town. Tip-off at Madison Square Garden will be at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks have been playing some great basketball lately, winning eight of their last 10 games, including their last two against the Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic. They sit fourth in the Eastern Conference, a half-game ahead of the Knicks. Atlanta has held up well on the road this season, too, going 16-15 away from home.

The Knicks have also won eight of their last 10 contests, helped by their current seven-game winning streak to push them five games above .500. Their most recent win was by 12 points over the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night, a game in which they were favored by 5 points.

New York beat Charlotte despite PF Julius Randle scoring only 16 points, well below his season average of 23.6 points per game.

Hawks at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 112, Hawks 108

Money line (ML)

The Knicks continue to play well on both sides of the ball, holding five of their last 10 opponents to 101 or fewer points.

They’ve won seven straight and though the Hawks are playing well, too, New York’s defense will give them fits.

I like the KNICKS (+105) to win straight up tonight.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Knicks are short underdogs at home. It’s the seventh time in their last 11 games they’ve been spotted points.

They’ve covered the spread in 10 straight games, and in their last 10 meetings with the Hawks, the Knicks are 7-2-1 ATS.

Take the KNICKS +1.5 (-110) to cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total had gone Over in each of the Knicks’ last four games before the Under hit Tuesday . For the Hawks, the Under is 4-1 in their last five games.

So long as Atlanta isn’t without all of its aforementioned injured players, the OVER 218.5 (-110) looks good.

Indiana Pacers at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Indiana Pacers at Atlanta Hawks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Indiana Pacers (26-29) visit the Atlanta Hawks (30-26) Sunday at State Farm Arena at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Pacers-Hawks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Pacers are looking to bounce back from Friday’s 119-111 loss at the Utah Jazz, but they did hang on to cover a 10-point number as the Under connected. Indiana is 4-2 straight up in its last six games and cashed ATS in three of the previous four.

The last time these teams faced each other, Indiana won 125-113 at Atlanta as a 1.5-point favorite Feb. 13 with the Over 223.5 cashing.

The Hawks were dropped 120-109 Thursday, snapping a 3-0 SU/ATS run. Atlanta is still 7-2 SU/ATS across the past nine.

Pacers at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Pacers 122, Hawks 115

Money line (ML)

The PACERS (+155) is worth playing despite the fact the Hawks have won three of the past four, while cashing in seven of the past nine.

Indiana has covered three of its past four, too, and cashed 125-113 in Atlanta in the first meeting as a 1.5-point favorite.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The PACERS +4.5 (-110) came up short in Utah by a 119-111 score as 10-point underdogs, and they’re 5-1 ATS in the past six as an underdog of 3.5 or more points.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 233.5 (-110) is the play as Indiana plays very little defense. The Pacers have allowed 119 or more points in four consecutive games and the Over has hit in three of the past four.

The Over also cashed in the first meeting with a total of 238 points against a 223.5 number.

Atlanta Hawks at Toronto Raptors odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Atlanta Hawks at Toronto Raptors NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Atlanta Hawks (29-25) visit the Toronto Raptors (21-33) Tuesday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Raptors odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks have won six of their last seven games and are safely in the playoff picture at fourth in the Eastern Conference despite a myriad of injuries. They’re coming off a 105-101 victory over the Charlotte Hornets Sunday afternoon.

The Raptors have slumped into 11th place in the East with disastrous play since the All-Star break. They’re 4-16 since March 1 and are coming off a 102-96 loss to the New York Knicks Sunday.

Hawks at Raptors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raptors 114, Hawks 107

Money line (ML)

The RAPTORS (-125) are the pick without a whole lot of conviction. The spread represents better value as the -125 tag is a steep price to pay for a losing team playing a division rival eight games ahead in the standings.

Toronto is also 0-2 against Atlanta this season while losing by scores of 132-121 and 121-120.

It comes down to injuries and there just aren’t enough healthy bodies suiting up for ATL. Wait until closer to game time for more clarity on the injury report but enough players are already ruled out to back the host Raps.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The RAPTORS -1.5 (-110) should be backed to win by at least two points. Their recent wins came as favorites against the Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards, and as 3-point underdogs against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Despite the overall struggles, they’ve beaten the teams they should, other than the injury-ravaged Los Angeles Lakers last Tuesday. They’ll be able to handle the shorthanded Hawks.

Over/Under (O/U)

A soft lean to the UNDER 223.5 (-110). Unders are typically overbet in games with injury lists such as this one but Toronto has been held to 103 or fewer points in three of its last five games and has held the opposition to 110 or fewer points in four of its last six outings.

Atlanta has given up 111 or fewer points in five of its last six games and scored just 105 points in Sunday’s win.

Atlanta Hawks at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Atlanta Hawks at Charlotte Hornets NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Atlanta Hawks (28-25) travel to meet the Charlotte Hornets (27-24) at Spectrum Center at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Hornets odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks rolled up a 120-108 victory as 2.5-point favorites on Friday night at home against the Chicago Bulls. They have won five of their past six games while also going 5-1 against the spread across the span.

Atlanta’s offense has come alive, too, posting 108 or more points in seven in a row, and 10 of the past 11 games.

The Hornets finished off a six-game road trip on Friday with a win in Milwaukee, 127-119, and they ended up going 4-2 overall and ATS on the trip.

They’re looking for redemption after losing 101-97 in overtime to the Phoenix Suns on March 28 in their most recent home game.

Hawks at Hornets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hornets 108, Hawks 106

Money line (ML)

The HORNETS (+115) are back on their home floor looking to push past the Hawks (-140) for the third straight time.

Charlotte won 113-105 on Jan. 9 as 5-point underdogs, and the Hornets won in Atlanta on Jan. 6 by a 102-94 count as a 6-point ‘dog.

The third time won’t be the charm for the Hawks, as the Hornets will win again. They just have Atlanta’s number.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The HORNETS +2.5 (-110) are a good bet as short ‘dogs at home. The public has been on the Hawks -2.5 (-110), too, mainly due to the fact the Hawks are 5-0 ATS in the past five as a favorite.

However, the Hornets are 4-0 ATS in the past four at home, and 8-2 ATS in the past 10 overall. More importantly, Charlotte is 9-2-1 ATS in the past 12 at home against Atlanta, and 4-1-1 ATS in the past six meetings overall.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 218.5 (-110) is a great play here. The Under has hit in eight of the last 10 meetings in Charlotte. The Under is also 12-4 across the past 16 games for the Hornets.

While the trends for the Hawks point to the Over, the Under is the lean here due to series trends, and team trends for the Hornets.

Golden State Warriors at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Golden State Warriors at Atlanta Hawks 76ers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Golden State Warriors (23-26) drop by the State Farm Arena Sunday to play the Atlanta Hawks (25-24). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Warriors-Hawks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Golden State got steamrolled by 53 points Friday against the Toronto Raptors to lose a second straight and sixth of the past seven games (1-6 against the spread).

A major Warriors issue has been Stephen Curry’s injury woes; he missed Golden State’s blowout loss to the Raptors and five games from March 19-26.

Atlanta just finished up an eight-game Western Conference road swing 4-4 overall and ATS with back-to-back wins Friday over the New Orleans Pelicans and Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs.

One of Atlanta’s victories on the road trip was against a Curry-less Warriors team, 124-108, March 26 as 7-point road favorites.

Warriors at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Warriors 116, Hawks 103

Money line (ML)

The absence of Hawks’ Collins is major for Atlanta especially because Draymond may miss tonight’s game. Draymond is one of the few defensive players that matter in the Association, and Collins roasted them last week.

Collins had 38 points on 14-for-19 shooting (80% from three) with 12 rebounds. He is a legit stretch-4 that can be a matchup nightmare when he has it going.

Hawks PF Danilo Gallinari has replaced Collins in the starting 5, and he plays more like a wing than forward.

Warriors wings Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andrew Wiggins are excellent defenders that could make life difficult for Gallinari tonight if he’s fit to play.

Finally, for all the things Draymond does right, he tends to turn the ball over a lot and is a big reason why the Warriors are 23rd in offensive turnover rate.

But, the Hawks are 28th in defensive turnover rate. So if Draymond is out, and with Atlanta not forcing a lot of turnovers, Golden State’s offense should be in a good spot.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. 

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” towards UNDER 229.5 (-110) for a half-unit because the Warriors are 8-10 O/U as a road dog, and the Hawks are 3-9 O/U as a home favorite.

However, perhaps no Draymond hurts Golden State’s team defense, but no Collins hurts Atlanta’s offense more.

Also, the market has bet this total up from 224.5 on the opener, and my read is that’s mostly based on Draymond’s absence, and I disagree with this analysis.

Atlanta Hawks at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Atlanta Hawks at New Orleans Pelicans NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New Orleans Pelicans (21-26) host the Atlanta Hawks (24-24) Friday at Smoothie King Center for a 9 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Pelicans odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks won 134-129 double-overtime thriller against the San Antonio Spurs as 1-point underdogs last night to stop a two-game losing skid.

This will be Atlanta’s last of an eight-game Western Conference road swing; the Hawks are 3-4 straight-up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) on their road trip.

New Orleans was on the losing end of its own overtime game last night after getting upset by the Orlando Magic 115-110 as 5-point home favorites. Before that loss, the Pelicans were 4-1 SU and ATS in their previous five games.

Hawks at Pelicans: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Pelicans 118, Hawks 111

Money line (ML)

Just a reminder: Wait until as close to tip-off as possible before wagering on this game.

If two of the Pelicans’ top-3 scorers can play—and specifically Zion—then I “LIKE” PELICANS (-125) for 1.25 units. If not, then I’d “LEAN” Hawks but would end up passing.

But, Zion is like a bull in an antique shop, and his physicality wreaks havoc on opposing defenses.

New Orleans is first in second-chance points and third in fast-break points per game, and these are weak spots for Atlanta’s defense. The Hawks are 20th in second-chance points and 17th in fast-break points per game allowed.

Both teams are in the top-5 of FTA/FG rate but New Orleans is 11th in defensive FTA/FG rate – whereas Atlanta is 20th in defensive FTA/FG rate.

Finally, the Pelicans and Hawks are first and second, respectively, in offensive rebounding rate, but New Orleans is fifth in defensive rebounding percentage, and Atlanta is 21st.

BET PELICANS (-125) for 1.25 units if Zion plays tonight.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS since New Orleans’ money line is only 15 cents on the dollar more expensive than the Pelicans -1.5 (-110) to cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” Over 222.5 (-115) for a one-fifth unit, if at all since, again, we don’t know who’s in the lineup at the moment. Also, surprisingly both teams play at a below-average pace.

However, I do envision New Orleans getting easy buckets at the rim and in transition and Atlanta being able to knock down threes against the Pelicans’ second-worst 3-point shooting defense.

Atlanta Hawks at San Antonio Spurs odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Atlanta Hawks at San Antonio Spurs NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Atlanta Hawks (23-24) visit the San Antonio Spurs (24-21) Thursday for an 8:30 p.m. ET tip-off at AT&T Center. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Spurs odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Atlanta has lost back-to-back games and four of five contests, with the latest being a 117-110 loss to the Phoenix Suns as 5.5-point road underdogs. This is Atlanta’s seventh game of an eight-game Western Conference road swing. It’s just 2-4 straight up and against the spread.

San Antonio just split a two-game road miniseries with the Sacramento Kings by whooping up on Sac-Town 120-106 Wednesday. Over the past two weeks, the Spurs are 2-5 SU and ATS with the losses aside from the Kings all being against winning teams.

The Spurs beat the Hawks handily125-114 in their first meeting this season and easily covered the spread as 2.5-point road underdogs.

Hawks at Spurs: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Spurs 114, Hawks 109

Money line (ML)

The SPURS (-110) are the play here because they are healthier and match up well with the Hawks.

Atlanta struggles against good defenses and could be without their third- and fourth-highest on-off court net rating players in Collins and Hunter.

According to CleaningTheGlass.com, the Hawks are 5-9 straight up with a minus-5.0 in net points per 100 possessions and the 18th-ranked ATS margin (minus-1.5) vs. top-10 defenses by points per 100 possessions.

Additionally, San Antonio is 11-4 overall vs. Eastern Conference teams with an average score of 112.9-107.0 and Atlanta is 10-12 overall against the Western Conference.

BET SPURS (-110) for 1.25 units.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS because San Antonio’s money line is only 5 cents on the dollar more expensive than the spread because this would be considered a “very good spot” for the Spurs.

For example, San Antonio has the highest cover rate and ATS margin against non-conference opponents, the Spurs are 6-2 ATS when laying 1-2.5 points and have covered the spread in 75% of their games when playing with a rest disadvantage.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to OVER 220.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit only because market reports indicate a ton of action is on the Over yet the House is moving the total down which suggests they want more Over money.

However, the Hawks have played to the Over in four of their past five games, the Spurs went Over in three of their last five and the assigned officiating crew has a combined 64-35 O/U record this season.
