Hawks at Nets picks and predictionsPrediction

Hawks 124, Nets 117

PASS.

The Nets (+260) have some value, especially at home, but considering the size of the spread, that’s the better wager in this one.

BET NETS +8.5 (-115).

The Nets are 1-3 ATS on the season, with that lone cover coming in their only home game. They lost by 7 points to the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday as an 11.5-point underdog. With G Cam Thomas averaging 24.5 points per game, Brooklyn has the scoring to keep pace with the Hawks and performs better at home.

The Hawks are 1-1 ATS on the road and have lost 2 straight games — one by 5 to the Bulls Monday and one by 17 to the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday. While the Nets sit last at -16.3, Atlanta ranks 25th (-9.2) in net rating, so it hasn’t been much better. Expect the home side to keep things close, and take NETS +8.5 (-115).

BET UNDER 238.5 (-110).

Neither offense has shown enough to expect this caliber of scoring. The Hawks have scored more than 120 points once and have tallied 118 or fewer in their 3 other games. They are 2-2 O/U.

The Nets have scored 109 or fewer points in 2 straight games and rank 24th in pace, so they aren’t going to push the tempo and create additional scoring opportunities. Back UNDER 238.5 (-110).
