New Orleans Pelicans vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
It’s hard to back either the Pelicans or the Hawks with all of these injuries piling up. With that said, the Pels still have more to work with, and they’re at home. Also, the Hawks were terrible ATS last season, and they’re 0-6 ATS this season. Dating back to last season’s regular season, the Hawks are 29-60 ATS. You’re ready to retire if you’ve blindly faded the Hawks since last season. Give me the Pelicans and the reasonable chalk.
