Atlanta Hawks vs LA Clippers Prediction

Right when it looked like the Atlanta Hawks were turning the corner, they went 4-5 ATS and SU in their last 9 games. The Hawks weren’t all that competitive last night against the Lakers. The LA Clippers are at home with the rest advantage and Kawhi Leonard is going to make his season debut. While we can’t expect the world of Kawhi in his first game back, it does give the Clippers a boost at least mentally. I expect to see an excited team and an Intuit Dome that’s going crazy. There should be some energy in the building, as the Clippers were able to keep their head above water up to this point. If Kawahi can be Kwahi at some point, the Clippers are a sneaky team out west. I’ll lay the points with the home team. Give me the Clippers.
