Los Angeles Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks prediction
I considered the Hawks and the points because they're coming off a strong week, and they're at home with the rest advantage. The Los Angeles Clippers played the Heat last night, and this will be their seventh straight road game. With all that said, the Clippers continue to win games and cover numbers, and they're making a case as the best team in the league. The Hawks are also 14-35 ATS on the season, making them comfortably the worst covering team in the NBA. That's a 28.5 percent cover rate. Absolutely terrible folks. Give me the Clippers and the reasonable number.
