Nets at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 119, Nets 114
Moneyline
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Hawks (-285) should win outright at home, but they are too expensive to take on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET NETS +6.5 (-105).
The Nets have been a covering machine as of late, thanks mainly to their defense. They have allowed 104 points or fewer in 3 straight games. Additionally, Brooklyn is 3-1 ATS with a spread closing at 6.5 or greater.
The Hawks have consistently won, but they haven't consistently covered. Atlanta is 0-3 ATS as a favorite of greater than 4 points. It struggles to separate itself from weaker opponents, and that should be the case Saturday.
Over/Under
BET OVER 227.5 (-110).
The Hawks offense has been rolling over their last few games, averaging 129.5 points per game across its last 2 contests. They've given up at least 120 points in 6 of 10 games this season, as well. The Nets topped the total in their last outing and showed some positive signs offensively. They've scored at least 109 points in 4 of their last 7 games.
Best prop bet
NETS F JULIUS RANDLE OVER 19.5 POINTS (-125)
The Nets offense is going to live or die by Randle. He's averaging 21 points per game and has scored at least 20 points in 6 of 8 games this season. Expect that success to continue Saturday.
