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.

Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Atlanta Hawks (17-16) battle the Indiana Pacers (17-17) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Tuesday. Tip from Indianapolis is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks vs. Pacers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks beat the Detroit Pistons 130-105 Friday, covering as 9.5-point home favorites. That pushed their against-the-spread (ATS) record to 13-20 this season. Atlanta is just 6-10 straight up on the road and just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games. The Hawks rank 12th in the league in points per game (114.6).

The Pacers also bring the pace, ranking 13th in the league in points per game (114.6). They lost to the New Orleans Pelicans 113-93 Monday, failing to cover as 2-point road underdogs. That pushed their season-long record to 19-14 ATS. Over their last 10, they are 5-5 ATS.

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.

Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and prediction

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

The Atlanta Hawks (37-30) travel to meet the Indiana Pacers (30-35) Thursday at Bankers Life Field House. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hawks vs. Pacers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks are coming off a 135-103 win against Phoenix Suns, using a 38-15 fourth quarter to pull away as the Over connected. Atlanta has won and covered three in a row while averaging 129.0 PPG across the past two.

The Pacers are also playing the second end of a back-to-back, but they didn’t have to travel. Indiana fell 104-93 at home against the Sacramento Kings in a low-scoring game which saw a total of just 94 points in the second half as the Under easily hit.

Hawks at Pacers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hawks 124, Pacers 109

Money line (ML)

The Hawks (-225) are a little more expensive than my personal money line limit, which is generally -180. You can’t risk more than two times your potential return on a regular basis and expect to have a strong return on investment over the long term.

AVOID.

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

Against the spread (ATS)

The HAWKS -5.5 (-110) are the play on the road, as the Pacers +5.5 (-110) are really sliding. Indiana is 1-4 SU/ATS across the past five, and they have allowed 130 or more points in three of those games while losing by 11 or more in each of the losses.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 240.5 (-110) is rather high considering each of these clubs just played Wednesday night, and the legs might be a tad tired on both sides. The Under is 6-1 in the past seven meetings in Indianapolis, too.

Indiana Pacers at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and prediction

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

The Indiana Pacers (13-13) clash with the Atlanta Hawks (11-14) Saturday at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Pacers-Hawks NBA odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Indiana has struggled through the first half of February but snapped a four-game losing streak its last time out by beating the Detroit Pistons 111-95 Thursday. The Pacers are just 2-4 overall and ATS in February.

Atlanta has fared worse in February, losing five out of six games this month, including the last two in a row. The Hawks have the third-lowest net rating because of their defensive struggles including bottom-10 rankings in opponent’s effective field-goal shooting, FTA rate, and turnover percentage in the past six games.

The Hawks broke a seven-game losing streak to the Pacers in the last meeting back in Jan. 2020, but these teams have split ATS wins over their last 10 meetings.

Pacers at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Pacers 116, Hawks 107

Money line (ML)

Indiana likes to attack the basket and get into the paint, which is where Atlanta is vulnerable. According to CleaningTheGlass.com, Indiana attempts the highest volume of shots at the rim and it is second in points in the paint per game, while Atlanta is 24th in opponent’s points in the paint per game.

Also, as stated above, the Hawks defense hasn’t been as good lately as they were earlier in the season. Atlanta is 26th in points per game allowed in February while Indiana is ninth in effective field-goal shooting and seventh in turnover percentage on the season.

Since the Hawks don’t force a lot of turnovers, aren’t a great defensive rebounding team and are 22nd in opponent’s FTA rate, it should be a good day for Indiana.

TAKE PACERS (-115) for 1 unit.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. The Hawks have been awful in the second of a back-to-backs since the beginning of last season. Atlanta is 4-12 ATS with a minus-15.8 margin of victory and minus-9.8 ATS margin. Because Pacers-Hawks is a coin-flip game, this trend applies and further supports Indiana’s case to win this game outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. BetMGM‘s projected total aligns with my prediction, so for me, there’s no value in betting the total. For what it’s worth, the market has hammered the Under so much that the total has been brought from the 228-point opener to the current price, according to Pregame.com.
