Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have been doing it tough lately as they’ve lost six of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping to put a halt to a four-game slide after falling just short to the Bucks in a 112-110 loss on Monday. Nickeil-Alexander Walker led the team with 32 points, six rebounds and six assists, Jalen Johnson added 28 points with 16 rebounds and six assists while Dyson Daniels and CJ McCollum each scored 17 points. As a team, the Hawks shot just 41 percent from the field and 12 of 42 from the 3-point line as they caught fire in the third quarter to take the lead after trailing by as many as 23 points, but it didn’t last long as the Bucks responded with a pair of clutch 3-pointers in the final 1:29 to snatch the game away at the end.
Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have been in a real slump as they’ve lost seven of their last 10 games overall, but they will be hoping to build some momentum after blowing past the Magic in a 126-109 win on Sunday. Anthony Black led the team with 19 points and six assists, Wendell Carter Jr added 18 points with seven rebounds and four assists while Paolo Banchero chipped in with 16 points, eight rebounds and nine assists. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 44 percent from the field and 10 of 33 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 40 points in the first quarter to take a 19-point lead into halftime and they push the margin out to 33 points before they decided to rest their starters and give extra playing time to their reserves.
Atlanta v Memphis Free Prediction
The Hawks are still missing Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher, while the Grizzlies have ruled out Zach Edey, Ty Jerome and Brandon Clarke with Santi Aldama listed as questionable. The Hawks have been struggling lately despite being relatively healthy, but they were somewhat unlucky not to beat the Bucks in their last outing. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have been in a slump of their own lately, but they were able to get Ja Morant back in action and they looked great in their big win over the Magic on Sunday. You really couldn’t trust either side with any confidence at the moment, but I was really impressed with the Grizzlies in their last outing and I think they win comfortably at home if they come out with the same energy they showed on Sunday.
