Randy’s Pick
This line doesn’t make sense to me. The Atlanta Hawks have lost 3 straight games, they’re on the end of a back to back, and they don’t play a lick of defense. The Hawks played in a game last night against the Pacers where more than 300 points were scored. The Brooklyn Nets are also 9-3-1 ATS on the year, so that’s kind of cool. We’ve backed the Nets a lot this season. I’ll do it here in the underdog role.
