Prediction
Nets 102, Hawks 93
Moneyline (ML)
The NETS (-154) are moderate favorites on the road against the banged-up Hawks (+125). Brooklyn is also looking to pull off the four-game regular-season series sweep. The Nets are 3-0 straight up and against the spread in their previous three meetings wit the Hawks, winning by an average margin of 120 to 105.3.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Nets ML returns a profit of $6.50 if they win.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Take the NETS (-2.5, -115), as they have owned the Hawks (+2.5, -106) all season. Atlanta has a lengthy list of injuries, so Brooklyn should have the advantage yet again. While Brooklyn is just 4-10 ATS in the past 14 on the road, it’s an impressive 7-3 ATS in the past 10 as a favorite. Brooklyn has also dominated this series, going 7-1 ATS in the previous eight overall, and the Nets are 5-1 ATS in the past six trips to the ATL.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 233.5 (-110) is an amazing value, and you should definitely take advantage here. Atlanta just has too many injury issues, and Brooklyn is still trying to find someone to fill the void left by Irving. The Under is 7-3 in the past 10 overall for the Nets, and 5-2 in their past seven on the road. While the Over is 12-2 in Atlanta’s past 14 at home, the Under is 13-4-1 in the past 18 meetings in this series, and 6-2 in the past eight in Atlanta.
