The Los Angeles Clippers invade the State Farm Arena to take on the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. Here’s an LA Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include an LA Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.
Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Clippers are starting to heat up as they have reeled off four wins in their last five games. They will be looking to maintain that momentum after blowing past the Heat in a 119-104 road win on Wednesday. Bogdan Bogdanovic led the team with 30 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists, Ivica Zubac added 26 points with 14 rebounds on 12 of 16 shooting while James Harden chipped in with 24 points with eight rebounds and 11 assists. As a team, the Clippers shot a sizzling 59 percent from the field and 13 of 27 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates to an early lead. They just kept their foot on the gas to make it look easy in the second half. It wasn't all smooth sailing as the Heat rallied back a couple of times, but the Clippers were never truly in danger as they barely missed all night.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in fine form as they've won five of their last six games overall and they will be gunning for a fifth straight victory after routing the Hornets in a 123-110 home win on Wednesday. Trae Young led the team with 35 points, seven rebounds, and 12 assists, Caris LeVert added 15 points off the bench while Georges Niang chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Hawks shot just 42 percent from the field and 14 of 36 from the 3-point line which are worse numbers than the Hornets, but they feasted at the free throw line where they outscored the Hornets by 35-16. The Hawks' starters had an off day, but the bench really picked up the slack with four reserves finishing in double figures in scoring. The Hawks will take on the Nets, Hornets, Warriors, and 76ers after this game.

LA Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Clippers have ruled out Norman Powell, and they have Ben Simmons listed as questionable, while the Hawks are keeping an eye on Clint Capela who is listed as questionable due to personal reasons. Both teams are coming into this meeting with plenty of momentum, so it's no surprise to see the line so short for this matchup. The Clippers have had their issues this season, but they're getting healthier and looked great in their easy win over the Heat in their last game. Meanwhile, the Hawks have gone on a nice run thanks largely to the hot shooting of Trae Young. It's hard to split these two squads at the moment, but the Clippers beat the Hawks by 131-105 back on Jan 4, and I am expecting another win for the Clippers in this one, albeit by a smaller margin.
