Hawks vs Nuggets prediction
The Nuggets have the ability to blow the doors off at home, where they're 31-8 SU at home. However, the Nuggets are still without Murray and while expected to play, Jokic has a hip issue and Gordon has a foot injury. The Hawks have won 6 of their last 8 games, and they need to keep winning to get that ninth seed so they can have home court for the first play-in game. The Nuggets are fighting for the top seed in the West, but they've also been on cruise control at times, failing to cover 7 of their last 10 games. Lot of points here. I'll take a stab with the Hawks.
