Hawks at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 115, Hawks 114
Moneyline
PASS.
It’s probable that the Raptors (-180) will bounce back after an embarrassing loss to a shorthanded 76ers team, but the ML is too expensive. This game is much closer to a coin toss than the line suggests.
Against the spread
BET HAWKS +3.5 (-103).
The Hawks have looked better than the Raptors up to this point in the season and should not be 3.5-point underdogs. Toronto is being overvalued as they are projected to bounce back at home after losing to Philadelphia, but recent history has shown that they tend to underperform after double-digit home losses.
Over/Under
BET OVER 222.5 (-110).
The Over is 4-0 in Atlanta’s last 4 games. Toronto just struggled to contain Philadelphia’s shooting Friday and now it faces an Atlanta team with the 4th-best shooting percentage in the league (48.4%). Expect Toronto’s defense to underperform again Monday and help the Over hit.
