The Atlanta Hawks and the Toronto Raptors do battle once again at the Scotiabank Arena on Monday night. Here’s a Atlanta Hawks vs Toronto Raptors Prediction. This article will include a Atlanta Hawks vs Toronto Raptors Pick.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have been in a real slump as they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back after having their two-game win streak snapped by the Raptors in a 134-117 road defeat on Saturday. Nickel Alexander-Walker led the team with 31 points on 10 of 19 shooting, Jalen Johnson added 30 points with seven rebounds and nine assists on 10 of 21 shooting, while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 20 points and 12 assists on nine of 13 shooting.
As a team, the Hawks shot 46 percent from the field and 17 of 39 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to trail by just one point after three quarters. However, they let themselves down big time in the fourth quarter where they scored a season-low 11 points to allow the Raptors to pull away at the end.

As a team, the Raptors shot 53 percent from the field and 12 of 31 from the 3-point line as they got off to a great start with 77 points in the first half to take the early lead.

Atlanta Hawks vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Hawks are still missing Tare Young, and they have Luke Kennard listed as questionable, while the Raptors have ruled out Jakob Poeltl once again. The Hawks were starting to get on a roll with a couple nice wins before they got thashed by the Raptors on Saturday, but it’s always tough to beat the same team twice in a row. So expect to see a fight back from the Hawks. The line has shortened for this meeting, so while I am expecting a much closer contest, I still have the Raptors maintaining their momentum with a win and cover here.
