Atlanta Hawks vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
The Hawks are getting the benefit of the doubt because of Portland’s injury report, but I still don’t get it. The Hawks have been hit or miss in terms of wins and losses lately, and they’re 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite. Let’s also not act like the Hawks don’t have their fair share of injuries as well. The Trail Blazers have been banged up all year, but they’ve found ways to stay afloat, and they’re a profitable 23-18 ATS on the season. The Portland Trail Blazers are 3-1 SU and ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog. I’ve been fading the Hawks a lot as of late. I want the points in this spot.
