The Hawks (-2000) should come out on top, but they certainly aren’t worth 20 times your money to win outright.<\/p>\n BET NETS +16.5 (-115).<\/p>\n The Nets have covered well over the last few weeks despite being shorthanded. They are 3-2 ATS in their last 5 games as a double-digit underdog and 2-1 ATS in their last 3 contests at home.<\/p>\n The Hawks have won consistently, but they’ve struggled to blow out opponents when they’re favored significantly. Atlanta is 1-2 ATS as a favorite of 13 or greater since March 12 and is just 2-2 ATS in its last 4 road outings.<\/p>\n BET UNDER 225.5 (-110).<\/p>\n Both sides are trending toward the Under here.<\/p>\n The Hawks are 1-3 O\/U across their last 4 contests and have allowed 110 points or fewer in 3 of those. Similarly, the Nets have gone Under in 4 straight games and have failed to top 100 points in 2 of their previous 3 outings.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
