The Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The under is 6-2 in Warriors last 8 overall. The under is 4-1 in Hawks last 5 overall.
The Atlanta Hawks aren’t a trustworthy team to just back them in the favorite role against anybody, but we’re not being asked to lay much here. The Golden State Warriors are still without Curry, and they have issues from time to time defensively. The Hawks win at home by an average of four points while shooting 48.2 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from three. I lean Hawks here and the small chalk, but I’m not thrilled about this contest overall.
