The Nets are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Hawks are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games playing on 0 days rest. The over is 13-3 in Nets last 16 overall. The under is 10-2 in Hawks last 12 overall. The Nets are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Atlanta and 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings.
The Brooklyn Nets are winning games and are one of the more talented rosters in the league, but they continue to be lackluster on defense and it’s been costing them covers lately. The Atlanta Hawks are on the end of a back to back, but they’re a young team that’s capable of getting hot offensively and has enough to push the Nets in a back and forth game. I’m not eager to lay big numbers with the Nets until they prove they can play defense. Give me the points.
