However, they are slightly too expensive to consider given the size of the spread and value below.<\/p>\n BET SPURS -2.5 (-115).<\/p>\n The Spurs have been on a tear, winning 4 straight regular-season games. San Antonio has won 6 of its previous 8 away games, including a neutral-court win over the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder.<\/p>\n The Hawks started the season strong and had a solid November. However, they are 2-5 in December and have failed to cover in their last 2 games as an underdog. Young returned to action Thursday for his first game since Oct. 29 and played 20 minutes, finishing with a plus-minus of -3. How he impacts the rotation remains murky, especially against a Spurs side with athletic guards that could make them pay on the defensive end.<\/p>\n Take SPURS -2.5 (-115).<\/p>\n BET OVER 239.5 (-115).<\/p>\n The Hawks have gone 17-11 O\/U on the season and have one of the worst defenses in the NBA, allowing at least 115 points in 6 straight games. They have gone Over in 5 straight.<\/p>\n The Spurs are 4-2 O\/U in their previous 6 games, including an NBA Cup final loss to the Knicks Tuesday. They have scored at least 119 points in 3 of their last 5 contests.<\/p>\n Take OVER 239.5 (-115).<\/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.
