Portland Trail Blazers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

The Trail Blazers are a young banged up team that’s still trying to learn how to win consistently and now they’re on the end of a back to back. The Hawks are at home, rested, and they’ve put together a nice week. With Kuminga and others in the mix, the Hawks have a pep in their step and look like a team that could be worth watching down the stretch. I like what I’m seeing from this group over their last few games. Give me the Hawks and the reasonable chalk.
