Hawks vs Nets Prediction
This is a lot of points for a Hawks team that’s on the end of a back-to-back, but those who have followed me know how I feel about these Nets. Even with recent covers, the Nets are the one team in the NBA that lacks direction and I dont beleive is very good. The Hawks are below average in most areas, and that includes being 28th in points per game and field goal percentage. I’m sure they’ll figure things out against this athletic and aggressive Hawks defense. Sike.
The Hawks have won five straight games against the Nets and have covered three of those games. I’m just not in the business of backing the Nets this season. I’ll continue to fade them. Give me the Hawks and the hefty number on Saturday night.
