Portland Trail Blazers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Atlanta Hawks have been killing bettors over the last couple of seasons, but they’ve quietly covered 4 of their last 5 games. If the Hawks are going to build on this momentum, they need to take advantage of games like this. The Portland Trail Blazers have competed and are coming off back-to-back wins over the Timberwolves, but they’re still not a team I trust. The winner of the Trail Blazers and Hawks has covered 9 of the last 10 games. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Hawks.
