Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets prediction
I’m not excited to back the Brooklyn Nets, a team that’s underachieved for the most part and is 26-30-3 ATS on the season. However, the Hawks and Nets squared off on Thursday, and it was Brooklyn that won 124-97. The Nets have won 7 of the last 10 meetings against the Hawks overall. The Hawks have lost 4 of their last 6 games, and of course they’re still without their best player in Trae Young. The Nets are the healthier team and if they’re going to make anything of this season, these are the games they take advantage of at home. I’ll lay the bucket with the Nets.
