The Atlanta Hawks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and the Pacers could be without Haliburton, Nesmith and Smith. That’s a lot of production lost for the Pacers. With all that said, the Hawks continue to pile up the losses, and they’re 9-27 ATS on the season. No team has hurt bettors more this season than the Hawks. The Pacers have beaten the Hawks twice this season, and that includes scoring 150 on them last week. Yes, this Pacers team is banged up, but still. The Hawks aren’t good. Give me the Pacers and the free buckets.
