Hawks vs Clippers Prediction
The Hawks are banged up, and you can argue have been better on the road this season. However, I’m not backing the Clippers, a team that continues to underachieve, struggles offensively and is a mess SU and ATS. In fact, with a cover percentage of 23.8 percent, the Clippers are the worst ATS team in the NBA. Harden and Kawhi keep voicing their frustration to the media and as the losses keep piling up, I’m just waiting for trade rumors to start swirling. It’s all bad in Clipper Land right now. I love the Hawks more in the underdog role, but I have no choice but to lay the points with the Hawks.
