Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Preview

Atlanta Hawks are 6th on the East Conference table with nine wins and 17 losses. At home, they have a 5-3 w/l record.

Atlanta Hawks are playing well at the moment. They won four of the last five matches. In the previous game, Atlanta Hawks won 108-99 at home vs Los Angeles Clippers. Guests were without Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Patrick Beverley. The Clippers were into the game until the start of the last quarter, but they couldn't compete with the Hawks in the deciding quarter without their stars. Trae Young was the best for the winning side with 38 points, while Kevin Huerter added 22 points.

Brooklyn Nets are 5th on the East Conference table with 11 wins and eight losses. On the road, they have two wins from six matches.

Since James Harden joined Brooklyn Nets, the team are considered one of the main favourites for the NBA title. But, things are not so bright, especially on the defensive end. Brooklyn Nets allowed 118.4 points per game in the games since James Harden arrived.

In the last match, Brooklyn Nets won 98-85 at home vs Miami Heat. A win by 13 points against the NBA finalist from last season seems nice, but the truth is that the Heat played without several players (Butler, Herro, Harkless, Bradley, Leonard, and Silva). Kevin Durant was the best for the Nets with 20 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. James Harden had 20 points and eight dimes.

Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Betting Tips

Brooklyn Nets have defence problems, especially against the dominant scoring guards, so I expect a massive game from Trae Young. The odds for Atlanta Hawks are too big, so there is value on their side. Also, they should cover AH +7.5 spread.
