The Line: Betting Odds: Brooklyn Nets +6.5 — Over/Under: 230
The Brooklyn Nets play host to the Atlanta Hawks at the Barclays Center on Sunday night. Here’s an Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include an Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have been in great form as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back in this one after having their four-game win streak halted by the Clippers in a 121-98 home defeat on Friday. Onyeka Okongwu led the team with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists, Trae Young added 17 points with seven assists while Zaccharie Risacher chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Hawks shot 42 percent from the field and just nine of 33 from the 3-point line as they got off to a great start. They poured in 35 points in the second quarter to take an early 11-point lead, but all that hard work went to waste in the nightmare third quarter, where the Hawks got outscored by an incredible 25 points. 35-8.
Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 10 of their last 11 games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a fourth straight defeat after falling just short to the Celtics in a 115-113 home defeat last night. Cameron Johnson led the team with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, Keon Johnson added 21 points while Jalen Wilson and Maxwell Lewis chipped in with 15 points each. As a team, the Nets shot 46 percent from the field and 20 of 46 from the 3-point line as they had no answers for the Celtics in the first half and trailed by as many as 22 points. This is a shame because they looked like a different team in the second half as they put a real scare in the Celtics to cut the deficit to just two points before they ran out of time. The Nets will face the Celtics, Pacers (b2b set), and Mavericks following this one.

Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Hawks are still missing some players with Clint Capela still out and Caris LeVert listed as questionable, while the Nets have ruled out Trendon Watford, Nic Claxton, and Noah Clowney for this one. These teams last met on Nov. 23, and it was the Hawks who won by 120-116. The Nets have been pretty competitive in their last three games, which have all been narrow defeats, but the Hawks are in a groove at the moment. I think they get the comfortable win and cover on the road behind another big game from Young.
