Hawks at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 123, Pacers 115

Moneyline

Even though they’ve struggled recently, the HAWKS (-135) are who I’m siding with in this game as G Trae Young isn’t on the injury report after missing Wednesday’s game. However, don’t take Atlanta straight up at odds worse than -150.

Against the spread

With Haliburton sidelined for the Pacers, HAWKS -2.5 (-115) is the lean. Atlanta has a healthy lineup aside from Capela while Indiana could be missing a couple of starters on Friday.

The Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 road meetings against Indiana.

Over/Under

OVER 237.5 (-105) is an enticing bet despite Haliburton not being active for the Pacers. Both of these teams are top 7 in pace, so there will be plenty of shots being taken.

The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these teams in Indiana and 12-2 in the last 14 meetings overall.

Hawks at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 118, Hawks 114

Moneyline

BET PACERS (+100).

The Pacers are simply better at home than the Hawks are on the road. Indiana has won 9 of 16 home games while Atlanta has won just 6 of 16 road games.

There are similarities between how these 2 teams play, but with the Hawks down Capela and the presence of C Myles Turner, who is one of the best rim protectors in the NBA, expect the edge in the paint to belong to Indiana.

With that in mind, the Hawks rank 27th in 3-point field goal attempts (31.1), so they already aren’t a volume-shooting team. They want to play in the paint, and Turner should create issues there.

The importance of size mixed with their strength at home is why I would back the PACERS (+100).

Against the spread

PASS.

I’ll take the Pacers to win outright instead of their ATS odds.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 237.5 (-112).

The Hawks rank 4th in both opponents’ field goals made (11) and opponents’ 3-point goal percentage (34.1%).

The Pacers shoot over 40 threes per game which ranks 4th in the NBA. They want to get out and run, but with F Buddy Heild and company, the way they do that could be limited by Atlanta’s defensive strength.

Indiana has gone Under the projected total in 4 straight games as well. Atlanta is 2-2 O/U in their last 4.

Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Hawks (11-10) travel to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to take on the Indiana Pacers (9-14). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hawks vs. Pacers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Hawks will be entering this match having won six of their last seven. Atlanta has been hot lately behind improved play from G Trae Young and F John Collins.

However, the road hasn’t been kind to them, just 3-8 away from Phillips Arena. Similar can be said for the Pacers, who are 3-10 away from Gainbridge but 6-4 at home.

Home court appears to play a big advantage for both sides. The Pacers are led by F Caris LeVert and F Domantas Sabonis among several other talented players. Indiana is 4-6 over its last 10.

Atlanta is 9-12 against the spread (ATS) while Indiana is 12-11 ATS.

Hawks at Pacers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 110, Hawks 106

Money line

BET on the PACERS (-120).

As noted, Indiana has been bad this season on the road but the Pacers have been good at home.

Also over 75% of the cash is on Atlanta yet this line hasn’t budged per pregame.com. That’s a good indicator that the books like their position with Atlanta (+100).

The Hawks have the 27th-best road defensive rating and the 20th-best net rating. Their struggles away from home are real, and without a key scorer in Bogdanovic and key defender in Hunter, it seems likely they struggle.

An advantage Indiana also has is on the glass.

The Pacers are seventh in offensive rebounding rate while Atlanta ranks 12th in defensive rebounding rate. With Turner questionable and potentially more probable if he feels better, Indiana could own the glass and the paint.

With all that in mind, I like the Pacers to win outright at home.

Against the spread

PASS on the spread. While the spread is just 1.5, I’d still look towards the money line for the value in this one.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 218.5 (-108).

Both teams have solid interior defenders, and both are at least capable on the defensive glass. Both of these teams also rank in the bottom half of the league in pace, making for a potentially slow game.

Atlanta also turns the ball over at the second-lowest rate, so it’ll at least be able to use the clock and retain possession. Indiana ranks 19th in turnover rate.

Given the impact Turner (if he plays) and Clint Capela should have on this game, the Under feels like the better play.
