Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets prediction

I guess the Brooklyn Nets are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and the Hawks are without Trae Young. I’m not buying it. The Atlanta Hawks have still won their last 2 games and are playing the better ball overall. The Brooklyn Nets have lost 8 of their last 10 games and are now 25-30-3 ATS on the season. There’s no world I’m laying points with the Nets. Give me the Hawks and the free bucket in a game they could easily win outright.
