Lakers at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 117, Lakers 105

Moneyline

PASS.

There is minimal value on Atlanta (-210) to win Friday against a struggling Lakers squad.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS -5.5 (-105).

This is a great number for a Hawks team that has covered 4 of its last 5 games, including 2 straight at home.

The Lakers have been outright awful ATS recently, with a 1-9 ATS record in their last 10 games. L.A. dealing with an array of injuries could greatly change the outlook of this game. The Lakers have failed to cover 4 consecutive games, including 3 straight on the road.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 231.5 (-110).

The Hawks are 15-8 O/U this season, but 4-6 O/U in their last 10 games. They’ve allowed 104 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games, going 1-3 O/U.

The Lakers are 3-7 O/U in their last 10 games. They’ve hit the Under in 6 of their last 7 games overall and 5 of their last 6 on the road. They have scored 93 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games and allowed 109 or fewer in 4 of their last 5.

Summer League: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Lakers vs. Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks meet Wednesday in the 2024 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Tip-off from Thomas & Mack Center is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN/ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lakers vs. Hawks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers kicked off their 2024 NBA Summer League with a 99-80 loss Friday to the Houston Rockets, who are led by No. 3 overall pick G Reed Sheppard. L.A. followed that up with an 88-74 loss to the Boston Celtics Monday. F Dalton Knecht, who L.A. selected at No. 17 in June, led the way with 19 points but was just 7-for-21 from the field. G Bronny James finished 1-for-5 in 25 minutes.

Atlanta, which didn’t play in either the Salt Lake City Summer League or California Classic, opened its summer league play with a 94-88 loss to the Washington Wizards Friday. Atlanta’s opener featured this year’s top 2 picks in Hawks F Zaccharie Risacher, who went No. 1 overall, and Wizards C Alex Sarr. Risacher ended his summer league debut with 18 points and 3 triples. The Hawks then lost to the Spurs 79-76 Sunday. The 19-year-old foward ended with 11 points on 1-of-7 shooting.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Lakers at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 83, Lakers 76

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lakers to pull off the upset is the only playable side on the moneyline, but that doesn’t make much sense given it has lost both its summer league performances by double figures.

The Hawks (-162) have lost both as well but have looked more competitive and should be able to win and cover here. Avoid their moneyline play, though, as it is too expensive to take here.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS -3 (-114).

The Hawks have competed well throughout the summer league and lost to the Spurs by 3 despite their No. 1 overall pick shooting horribly from the field. San Antonio is undefeated in the summer league, while the Lakers are coming off a 14-point loss to the 1-1 Celtics.

Los Angeles hasn’t put it all together and doesn’t have an efficient, go-to scoring option. None of its 5 starters shot over 43% from the field in its loss to Boston. Considering how both teams have played so far in Vegas, take HAWKS -3 (-108).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 172.5 (-110).

Considering the Lakers’ inefficiency, there isn’t much reason to think they’ll top 80 points here, having scored or gone south of that figure in both games prior. The Hawks have scored 88 and 76, as well, so they haven’t been lighting up the scoreboard either.

Atlanta shot just 34.7% from the field and 24.4% from deep in its last battle against San Antonio. Neither team has shown a strong offensive propensity. Take UNDER 172.5 (-110).

Los Angeles Lakers at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Lakers at Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Lakers (14-21) and Atlanta Hawks (17-18) meet Friday at State Farm Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Lakers vs. Hawks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers failed to cover the spread as 8.5-point underdogs in a 112-98 loss at the Miami Heat Wednesday. Los Angeles was outscored 31-2 in points off turnovers and dropped to 1-6 against the spread (ATS) in its last 7 games.

The Lakers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. teams with a winning record at home.

The Hawks covered as 7-point home underdogs in a 108-107 loss vs. the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday. G Dejounte Murray finished with 24 points and 8 assists — both team-highs — in the absence of 2-time All-Star G Trae Young (calf contusion) who is expected to return Friday.

Atlanta is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 home games vs. teams with a losing record on the road.

Lakers at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 125, Lakers 124

Moneyline

PASS.

The Hawks (-270) should win, but their ML is too expensive for a team that is 1-3 straight up in its last 4 games. Bet the spread or the total instead.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS +6.5 (-105).

The Lakers should bounce back after getting outscored 34-26 in the 3rd quarter vs. Miami when they were covering for the majority of the game. The Hawks seemed to have better chemistry without Young in the lineup vs. Brooklyn and the market may be overreacting to the announcement of his return. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 241.5 (-112).

The Over is 4-0 in the Lakers’ last 4 games following a straight-up loss and 5-1 in Atlanta’s last 6 after covering in its previous game. The Over has hit in the last 2 head-to-head meetings between these teams and should hit again Friday in another high-scoring matchup.

Lakers at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Lakers 111, Hawks 109

Money line (ML)

With both LeBron and Davis questionable, it’s hard to make a money line bet here. If they play, I like the Lakers to win outright but if they’re sidelined, I’d pass on wagering on the money line.

The Hawks are set to have Young in the lineup and he’s been a stud of late, averaging 37.6 points per game across his last five. The Lakers’ money line isn’t all that appetizing at -225, either, so I’d PASS on the money line and look at the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Lakers come in favored by 5.5 points over Atlanta. Both teams are 4-2 over their last six games and won their last times out; the Lakers squeaked by the Boston Celtics, while the Hawks beat the Washington Wizards by 16.

While the spread isn’t necessarily large, I like the HAWKS +5.5 (-110) to cover and possibly even win outright, especially if the Lakers are without James and/or Davis. Get the 5.5 points now before their official statuses are released.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under has been hot for both of these teams. The Lakers’ last three games each played to the Under, as well as five of their last six. The total has gone Under in seven of the Hawks’ last 10 games, too.

I like the Under in this matchup, particularly if James and Davis are out. Even if they play, the Lakers offense hasn’t exactly been humming of late, averaging 98 points per game in their last three. Take the UNDER 218.5 (-110).
