The Atlanta Hawks and the Brooklyn Nets collide at the Barclays Center on Friday 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 on fire as they’ve won 17 of their last 19 games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after thrashing the Magic in a 130-101 road win on Wednesday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the team with 32 points on 11 of 16 shooting; Jalen Johnson added 18 points with 14 rebounds and eight assists, while Onyeka Okongwu chipped in with 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

As a team, the Hawks shot 51 percent from the field and 15 of 37 from the 3-point line as they took full control of the contest with a 47-point explosion in the second quarter to take a double-digit lead and they didn’t stop there as they dominated the second half to secure another blowout win to add to their impressive run.

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 11 of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting humbled by the Hornets in an ugly 117-86 home defeat on Tuesday. Josh Minott led the team in scoring with just 14 points off the bench; Chaney Johnson added 11 points, while Nolan Traore and Drake Powell each scored 10 points.

As a team, the Nets shot a miserable 38 percent from the field and seven of 35 from the 3-point line as they had no answers for the Hornets at the start of the game and were always fighting an uphill battle after getting outscored 35-18 in the first quarter. The Nets weren’t much better in the second half, where they managed just 41 points to finish with one of their lowest-scoring games this season.

Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Hawks have ruled out Jock Landale with an ankle sprain, while the Nets have ruled out Michael Porter Jr., Danny Wolf, Egor Demin and Terance Mann. This is a classic case of two teams trending in opposite directions, as the Hawks are one of the hottest teams in the league right now while the Nets are just praying for the season to end. These teams have already met three times this season, with the Hawks winning each game and I think that trend continues here, as the Hawks should have way too much firepower for the severely depleted Nets, who can’t buy a win these days.
