Nets at Hawks tips and predictions

forecast

Hawks 120, Nets 110

Money line

The Hawks (-275) are unlikely to lose their fourth straight meeting against the Nets. However, this line has too much oomph to recommend the layman's price.

HAPPEN. Instead, bet on the spread and/or the total.

Against the spread

The Nets have reported 6 straight meetings between these teams, but none of that matters now that Bridges is no longer with Brooklyn. Bridges averaged 32.7 points per game in the 6 Brooklyn Covers and Hawks G Trae Young I didn't even play in the last two matches.

The Nets are expected to perform much worse than last season, while the Hawks may get better now that Young and Murray no longer have to fight for the ball.

BET HAWKS -6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Atlanta was the best over bet in the NBA last season with a 47-35-1 O/U (57.3%) record. What has changed since then? The Hawks committed to their undersized guard Young and sent Murray, who is one of the best defensive guards in the league.

BET OVER 222.5 (-110).
