Nets at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 120, Nets 119

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hawks (-210) should win, but they are being a little overvalued on the moneyline. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET NETS +5.5 (-115).

Brooklyn is 1 of the better bounce-back teams in the league and Atlanta may be due for a letdown after a huge win in Prunty’s debut. The Hawks are just 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games after a win and the Nets are 9-6 ATS this season as away underdogs.

Brooklyn has won 5 of the last 6 meetings vs. Atlanta and should be able to keep it close Sunday coming off a bad loss in Chicago.

Over/Under

BET OVER 233.5 (-105).

The Over is 4-0 in Brooklyn’s last 4 games after failing to cover in its previous contest and 6-1 in the Nets’ last 7 after a loss. The Over has hit in 6 of Atlanta’s last 7 games after a win by more than 10 points and is 3-1-1 in Brooklyn’s last 5 on the road.

Nets at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 126, Hawks 113

Moneyline

Even though the Nets should secure a win on Wednesday, I’ll PASS on the moneyline. Betting on Brooklyn to win straight up isn’t worth doing considering the minimal return you’ll receive if the Nets do win.

Against the spread

NETS -5.5 (-110) is an enticing wager with how well Brooklyn has been playing recently. The status of Hawks G Trae Young is also uncertain after he exited Tuesday’s game against the Pacers with an injury.

The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Over/Under

Even if Young is inactive, OVER 236.5 (-112) appears to be the ideal choice in this game. The Nets are the No. 1-ranked team in true-shooting percentage and we’ll get enough points from the Hawks late in the game to hit the Over.

The Nets are 7-3 to the Over in their last 10 games. The Hawks are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games following a loss.

The Atlanta Hawks (40-37) host the Brooklyn Nets (40-37) Saturday in a possible postseason play-in preview. Tip-off at the State Farm Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Nets vs. Hawks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Nets at Hawks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 125, Hawks 117

Money line

GIMME the NETS (-145) because they should be angry after squandering a double-digit lead to the Bucks earlier this week, and the Hawks (+120) are far worse in close games.

For instance, Brooklyn is eighth in “clutch” net rating at plus-7.6, and Atlanta is 24th at minus-7.0. “Clutch” is defined by games within a 5-point margin inside of five minutes to play. The House is projecting a one-possession game so I’ll take KD and Kyrie Irving against the Hawks in winning time.

Furthermore, both teams should be at peak motivation since they have the same record as the Charlotte Hornets, and there’s a cluster of the three teams for the 8-to-10 seeds. Getting the 8-seed for the play-in tourney guarantees a team at least two games to clinch a playoff berth.

Also, the Nets are a lot better than the Hawks on paper. KD should continue to light up Atlanta Saturday, give me Kyrie over Trae, and I have more faith in Brooklyn’s supporting cast down the final stretch of the season.

Lastly, Atlanta’s victories over the past two weeks haven’t been that impressive. Hawks’ recent victories include against a Cavs team in the second of a back-to-back, the tanking Thunder and Pacers, a slumping Warriors and a Knicks team they match up well with recently.

BET the NETS (-145) as this is my cutoff before laying the points with Brooklyn instead.

Against the spread

PASS since Brooklyn’s ML is only 30 cents on the dollar more expensive than the Nets -2.5 (-115) so there’s no point sweating a cover. However, if Brooklyn’s ML goes higher than -145 then I’d bet the Nets ATS up to -3.5.

Over/Under

PASS with a “lean” to the Over 240.5 (-115) because Atlanta is 4-0 O/U in the last 4 games, and both teams have top-10 offensive ratings and bottom-10 defensive ratings.

But, this is a sharp total, and Brooklyn is 1-3 O/U in the last 4 games so I’ll PASS on even making a small wager on the Over.
