The Spurs are 47-22-1 ATS in their last 70 Friday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. The Hawks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The under is 5-2 in Spurs last 7 road games. The over is 7-3 in Hawks last 10 home games. The Spurs are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Atlanta and 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The San Antonio Spurs are a tough team to figure out, as you never know which team is going to show up from game to game, and they just got rid of one of their better scorers in Derrick White. The Atlanta Hawks have been a better team lately, and they do win in the favorite role by an average of 4.2 points. This line is on the steep side, but I don’t have a ton of confidence in the Spurs on the road. It’s Hawks or pass.
