Hawks vs Spurs Prediction
The Atlanta Hawks are banged up and not playing well, as they’ve now lost eight of their last 10 games. The Hawks could easily have lost nine of their last 10 games if Young didn’t hit a last-second shot against the Pistons. The Spurs can’t keep piling up the losses if they’re serious about pushing for a playoff spot, and De’Aaron Fox is expected to make his debut. It’s going to take time for Fox to get rolling with his new teammates, but there’s no excuse to lose to this version of the Hawks. The Spurs need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to make the postseason. Give me the Spurs and the chalk in what should be viewed as a must-win.
