Atlanta Hawks vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs have seen 9 of their 13 wins come at home, so I can understand why they’re the slight favorites. However, the Spurs continue to run hot and cold, and they’re hard to trust night-to-night. The Atlanta Hawks have quietly played great ball these last couple of weeks, and that includes wins in 7 of their last 9 games. Most of those wins have come against legit playoff teams. How long will it continue? Who knows. I’m still grabbing the bucket with the Hawks.
