Denver Nuggets vs Atlanta Hawks prediction
The Denver Nuggets are in a bit of a funk, so I’m not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about laying chalk on the road. However, we can assume the Nuggets won’t keep losing much longer, and they’re the better team here, no matter how you slice it. The Atlanta Hawks are a hit or miss team, right now they’re missing, and Trae Young remains questionable with an illness after missing Friday’s game. Also, the Hawks are 5-16 ATS on the season. That 23.8 percent cover rate for the Hawks is the worst in the NBA. I’ll lay the bucket with the Nuggets.
