Hawks vs Raptors Prediction
The Atlanta Hawks need to win this game if they’re serious about sneaking into the playoffs, but they’re banged up still and are on the end of a back-to-back. The Hawks have also lost six of their last 10 games while failing to cover seven of those games. The Raptors are as healthy as they’ve been in a while, and it’s not a coincidence they’ve won three of their last four games. The Raptors have allowed less than 100 points in two of their last three games. The Raptors are also a profitable 24-18-1 ATS on the season. With the rest advantage and health on their side, I’ll grab the points with the Raptors on the road.
