San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have been in fine form as they’ve won 11 of their last 15 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the lowly Wizards in a 119-94 win last night. Dylan Harper led the team with 24 points on nine of 13 shooting off the bench, Devin Vassell added 18 points while Stephon Castle chipped in with 17 points and six assists on seven of 11 shooting. As a team, the Spurs shot 49 percent from the field and 15 of 42 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 34 points in the first quarter to take a narrow lead into halftime. Before they dominated the second half by 62-41 to make it a complete blowout win in front of their home fans. De’Aaron Fox had a rough game as he shot just one of eight from the field to finish with just six points, while Harrison Barnes shot zero of six from the field to finish with just two points.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a slump as they’ve lost five of their last seven games overall. They will be eager to bounce back here after falling short to the lowly Hornets in a 133-126 road defeat last night. Jalen Johnson led the team with 43 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists on 16 of 27 shooting, Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 28 points on 11 of 18 shooting off the bench while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 14 points and six assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 52 percent from the field and 11 of 37 from the 3-point line, but they played little to no defense to start the game and were always fighting an uphill battle after allowing 80 points in the first half. In fact, the Hawks trailed in this one by as many as 24 points before they rallied late to cut the deficit to just one point late in the fourth quarter.

Hawks vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are coming into this contest with a full squad, while the Hawks are still missing Kristaps Porzingis for this one. The Spurs did a great job of winning games when Victor Wembenyama went down with injury. They looked great in their big win over the Wizards last night, so I was expecting them to be heavier favorites in this matchup. The Hawks have gone cold lately, and their confidence took a shot after getting beaten by the lowly Hornets in their last outing. With the line so short, I am sticking with the more reliable Spurs to get the win and cover on the road.
