Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers prediction
Two capable offenses and two trash defenses, so this game could go either way. When the Hawks and Pacers clashed in November, a combined 309 points were scored. With all that said, the Pacers know how to finish games and have had far more success lately. Also, the Hawks are 8-25 ATS on the season. No team in the NBA has lost bettors more money than the Hawks. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Pacers at home.
