Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview

The Atlanta Hawks have been struggling lately as they’ve lost seven of their last 12 games overall, but they were on a four-game win streak before they got smashed by the Rockets in a 104-86 loss on Thursday. CJ McCollum led the team with 23 points on nine of 19 shooting off the bench, Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 20 points while Corey Kispert chipped in with 17 points but no other player finished in double figures in scoring.

As a team, the Hawks shot just 37 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they played great defense early on to keep pace with the Rockets in a tightly contested first half. But that changed in the second half where they got outscored by 61-44 to get blown out at home. Dyson Daniels had a rough game as he shot just two of 12 from the field to finish with four points while Mouhamed Gueye scored just two points on one of eight shooting.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last six games overall, but they will be feeling better after they outlasted the Bulls in a 113-110 home win on Wednesday. Pascal Siakam led the team with 20 points and five assists, Andrew Nembhard led the team with 18 points and nine assists, while Jarace Walker chipped in with 16 points on six of eight shooting.

As a team, the Pacers shot 45 percent from the field and 15 of 36 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and leaked 33 points in the first quarter to trail by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter. But that’s when they made their move as they closed the final 6:53 on a 28-9 run to pull off the impressive comeback win in front of their home fans.

Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Hawks are still missing Kristaps Porzingis and they have Jalen Johnson and Zaccharie Risacher both listed as questionable, while the Pacers have ruled out Tyrese Haliburton and Obi Toppin once again. The Pacers have been playing slightly better lately, but they have already gotten smashed by the Hawks twice this season, so with the line so short, I will stick with the Hawks to get the win and cover once again.
