Golden State Warriors vs Atlanta Hawks prediction
We know both the Warriors and Hawks are on the end of back to backs and teams sometimes rest guys in these spots, so check the injury report before betting. Unless the Warriors are sitting Curry or Klay, this line makes no sense to me. Yes, the Hawks have won 3 straight games, but they still don’t play defense, and they’re still the worst covering team in the league. I’m not laying chalk with the Hawks, especially against a still talented Warriors side that needs to win games to remain in the thick of the playoff race. Give me the free bucket.
