Raptors at Hawks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Hawks 112, Raptors 109
Money line (ML)
The HAWKS (+155) are worth a play as home dogs with this being a potential letdown spot for the Raptors. Toronto beat the Brooklyn Nets 123-117 Friday in a game they led most of the way for their third straight win. The Raps got 33 points from PF Pascal Siakam and 30 points from PG Kyle Lowry.
SG Fred VanVleet went just 1-for-9 from 3-point range and finished with 11 points in his follow-up to a franchise-record 54-point performance against the Orlando Magic in Toronto’s last game.
The Raptors rely far too heavily on 3-pointers and rank second in attempts and seventh in success rate for the season. The Hawks hold the opposition to just a 32.7% rate from 3-point range to rank second in the NBA defensively. They’re getting healthier and are in a good spot to snap a three-game losing skid.

Against the spread (ATS)
I like the money line play more for a greater payout, but the underdog HAWKS +4.5 (-110) should be taken with the insurance in a game that’ll come down to Toronto’s 3-point shooters against Atlanta’s 3-point defense.
The Hawks failed to cover in each of their three straight losses coming into the weekend, but they’re still 11-11 ATS for the season while the Raptors are just 9-13 even after three straight covers in double-digit victories.
Over/Under (O/U)
Back the UNDER 222.5 (-105). The Raptors have hit four straight Overs, but their 3-point shooting is likely to struggle against the Hawks’ strong perimeter defense.
The Hawks also have a big edge in rebounding and will look to slow this down with their 20th-ranked pace of 99.0 possessions per game.
