Hawks vs Nets Prediction

I said a couple of weeks ago that the Hawks would be a team to watch. There’s new energy with this team after adding CJ and Kuminga to the mix. Well, the Hawks have won 7 straight games and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. The Nets aren’t the team to slow things down, as they’re in tank mode and now their injury report is getting larger. Two teams heading in different directions as we head down the home stretch. Give me the Hawks in a comfortable home victory.
