Atlanta Hawks vs Toronto Raptors prediction

The Atlanta Hawks have not only lost 5 straight games, but they're 5-18 ATS on the season, which is the worst of any team in the league. The Toronto Raptors just beat the Hawks on Wednesday by 7 points, and they've won 5 of the last 8 meetings against them overall. You can make a strong argument the Raptors should be laying more than two points. Backing the Hawks isn't an option these days. Give me the Raptors for another win.
