The Atlanta Hawks pay a visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center on Monday night. Here’s a Atlanta Hawks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction. This article will include a Atlanta Hawks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Pick.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have been in pretty good form as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back in this one after getting stopped by the streaking Hornets in a 126-119 loss on Saturday. Jalen Johnson led the team with 31 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, Zaccharie Risacher added 18 points on seven of 10 shooting while Onyeka Okongwu chipped in with 16 points.
As a team, the Hawks shot 49 percent from the field and 18 of 37 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 35 points in the first quarter to keep pace with the Hornets in a tightly contested first half. But that all changed late when the Hornets scored the final eight points of the third quarter to start to pull away. The Hawks fought hard to trail by just one point with 26.3 seconds left on the clock, but the Hornets made all their free throws down the stretch to slip away in the end.
Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have cooled off a bit recently as they’ve dropped three of their last four games overall. They will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting trounced by the Clippers in a 115-96 loss last night. Anthony Edwards led the team with 23 points, Julius Randle added 17 points and eight rebounds while Ayo Dosunmu chipped in with 11 points off the bench.
As a team, the Timberwolves shot 45 percent from the field and eight of 33 from the 3-point line as they got off to a slow start, scoring just 19 points in the first quarter to fall behind by 12 points at halftime. Things only got worse in the third quarter where they managed just 17 points to trail by as many as 28 points.

Atlanta Hawks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Hawks are keeping an eye on Dyson Daniels who is questionable for this one, while the Timberwolves are still missing Terrence Shannon Jr.
The Hawks open as road underdogs which is to be expected, but they have been playing some decent basketball recently. They almost took down the red-hot Hornets in their last outing, so they might like their chances against the stumbling Timberwolves who are playing this game on zero days rest. I still have the Timberwolves getting the win at home, but I think it’ll be close right till the final buzzer so I will take the Hawks with the points in this spot.
