Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview 

The Atlanta Hawks have been on fire as they’ve won 16 of their last 19 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after taking down the surging Celtics in a 112-102 home win on Monday. Onyeka Okongwu led the team with 20 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals, Jalen Johnson added 20 points 12 rebounds and five assists, Dyson Daniels scored 18 points with five rebounds and five assists while Nickeil Alexander-Walker chipped in with 17 points and six assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 47 percent from the field and 15 of 38 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start and matched it with the Celtics to tie the scores at halftime, before they exploded for 36 points in the second quarter to pull ahead by as many as 21 points which was more than enough to hold off the Celtics at the end. 

Orlando Magic Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been in a major slump as they’ve lost seven of their last nine games overall, but they will be eager to build some momentum after sneaking past the Suns in a 115-111 win last night. Desmond Bane led the team with 21 points, six rebounds and five assists, Jalen Suggs added 20 points with eight rebounds and seven assists while Paolo Banchero chipped in with 19 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. As a team, the Magic shot 44 percent from the field and 10 of 29 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in full control after pouring in 70 points in the first half to lead by 16 points, but they allowed the Suns all the way back into the contest and managed to escape behind their defense as they restricted the Suns to just three points in the final 2:58 of the fourth quarter. 

Atlanta v Orlando Free Prediction

The Hawks could be slightly shorthanded for this one with Jock Landale currently listed as questionable, while the Magic have ruled out Franz Wagner, Anthony Black and Jonathan Isaac. These teams have already clashed three times this season and it was the Hawks who won all three games and the most recent meeting was a 124-112 home win for the Hawks back on Mar 16. The Magic are coming into this contest fresh off a nice win over the Suns, but they were ice-cold before that win and now they are playing the red-hot Hawks on zero days rest. The line is short for this one, so I will happily stick with the Hawks to complete the series sweep with another win and cover in this spot.
