Hawks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 124, Hawks 115

Moneyline

PASS.

The Raptors (-270) should win, but there is no need to risk 2.7 times the potential profit even though the Hawks should struggle to keep it close. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET RAPTORS -7.5 (+100).

The Raptors are playing their best basketball of the season and the Hawks are in a letdown spot coming off an emotional, last-second win at the Pacers. Toronto is 2nd in offensive efficiency over the last 3 games and should have no trouble outscoring the Hawks, who are 20th in points over that same span with 110.0 per game. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 231.5 (-112).

Toronto is averaging 124.3 points over the last 3 games and has a history of playing high-scoring games vs. Atlanta. The Over is 7-1 in Toronto’s last 6 games vs. teams with a losing record and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these 2 teams. Look for these trends to continue Saturday.

Hawks at Raptors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 118, Hawks 111

Money line

PASS with a heavy “lean” towards the Raptors (-180) because I’d rather have Toronto’s ML than the spread but it’s a little too expensive.

However, Toronto is 12th in net rating and Atlanta is 14th and the Raptors are much better against mid-tier teams.

Toronto is 16-11 SU versus teams in the middle-10 of net efficiency with a plus-1.6 adjusted net rating (ranked 11th), according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

While Atlanta is 11-17 SU versus mid-tier teams with a minus-2.4 adjusted net rating (ranked 18th) and 6-16 SU as a road underdog.

But, I’m confident enough in Toronto in this spot to lay the points and PASS on the Raptors (-180).

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

GIMME the RAPTORS -4.5 (-107) for 1 unit because this is a much better spot for Toronto and they’ve gotten good looks versus the Hawks this season.

The Hawks are 4-13 ATS on the road versus teams with a winning record, 1-7 ATS as 3-to-4.5-point underdogs and have a minus-2.6 ATS margin when playing mid-tier teams (ranked 25th), per CTG. The Raptors are 13-7 ATS at home versus winning teams.

Atlanta is also 27th in defensive 3-point percentage and Toronto is shooting 47.3% from behind the arc versus the Hawks this season.

The Hawks are also just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 visits to Toronto and PG Trae Young is 0-3 SU in his three career trips north of the border.

BET the RAPTORS -4.5 (-107) unless Toronto’s ML gets to -160 or cheaper.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 225.5 (-112) because Toronto has shot extremely well versus Atlanta. The Hawks are also one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the NBA and the Raptors have suspect 3-point defense. Toronto is thin in the backcourt and Atlanta guards Kevin Huerter and Bogdanovich can get hot.

However, I’m much more confident in Toronto’s spread but there’s a little value in an OVER 225.5 (-112) wager.

Atlanta Hawks at Toronto Raptors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Atlanta Hawks at Toronto Raptors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Hawks (25-26) travel to Scotiabank Arena Friday to take on the Toronto Raptors (27-23). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hawks vs. Raptors odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Hawks are coming into this game following a 9-point win over the Phoenix Suns at home as 3-point underdogs. This is their second night of a back-to-back.

Atlanta has covered 8 of its last 9 games, pushing its against the spread record to 23-28 this season. Toronto has been much better ATS with a 29-21 record this season.

The Raptors are also playing the second night of a back-to-back, beating the Bulls by 7 in overtime as 4.5-point favorites. This is the Raptors’ fourth game in 5 days. Nonetheless, they’ve covered all 4.

Hawks at Raptors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 114, Hawks 109

Money line

“LEAN” to the RAPTORS -160.

I prefer taking the points and the better odds, but this would work as well. The Raptors are allowing just 106.8 points per game, the 9th-fewest.

G Fred VanVleet, who ranks second in deflections, will get the challenge of defending G Trae Young, who is averaging the fourth-most points per game in the league.

VanVleet and a Raptors defense that can switch 1-5 should be able to neutralize the Hawks’ pick-and-roll offense. The Hawks run the second-most pick-and-rolls in the NBA.

The Raptors’ size should disrupt what the Hawks do best, giving Toronto the advantage.

Against the spread

BET on the RAPTORS -3.5 (-108).

The Raptors beat the Hawks in Atlanta Jan. 31.

While the Hawks were without Young, the Raptors got 56 points from F Pascal Siakam and G Gary Trent Jr. Both are playing at a high level, which has helped Toronto win 4 straight.

Toronto is a league-best 7-2 ATS with no rest, so their depth and youth give them an advantage, one that should help dictate this Eastern Conference battle.

Over/Under

PASS on the total. I like the Under here but not nearly as much as the Raptors spread.

While both teams are over-.500 on the Over this season, they’re also each 4-5 O/U with no rest. Tired legs could hurt the shooting, especially as the two combined for 206 points the last time they met.

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.

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.
