Lakers vs. Hawks Picks
Point Spread Pick for Lakers vs. Hawks
- Los Angeles Lakers (4 Units)
The Hawks have lost two of their three home games and will not have Trae Young for this game, while the Lakers have won four straight road games. Los Angeles has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 123 points per game in their last three games while making over 51 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 82 percent of their free throws on the road. Their ball movement has been very good, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than eight offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games and won’t give up many easy-scoring looks. The Hawks aren’t very good defensively, and they play worse at home, where they are giving up more than 120 points per game. They’re also playing on consecutive nights and will be dealing with fatigue, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Lakers. Go with Los Angeles to cover the spread.
