Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Picks
Hawks vs Nets Spread Pick
- Atlanta Hawks -8 (5 units)
The Hawks and the Nets are two teams desperate for a win to get their season off and running. It’s been a poor start to the season for both teams. They have combined for five of their seven losses being by double-digits. The Nets can’t defend as they have been the worst defensive team in the league. The Hawks can’t rebound as they’ve leaked offensive rebounds through week one. The difference is going to come down to multiple scoring options, and that’s what Atlanta has in Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis. These two plays have a history of leading teams to wins, and they are the side that I will take, especially against a Brooklyn team that is designed to be a lottery pick squad. The Nets are barely competing so far, and in their last game, they were outscored 66-46 in the paint. Atlanta can exploit that area of the game with ease.
Take Atlanta to cover.
Hawks vs Nets Over/Under Pick
- Over 238 (5 units)
Brooklyn’s defense has been a major issue. They are the worst in defense efficiency, as teams are dominating in the paint and in transition over them. In three of their four defeats, Brooklyn has allowed their opposition to score 130 points or more. The Hawks should feast in this game offensively. The pace will also favor a high-scoring game with Atlanta ranking 12th in pace. For Brooklyn, the over is 2-0 when the total has been set at 228 or higher. The over is 2-0 when the total has been set at 237 or higher in Atlanta games.
Take the over on Wednesday.
