Hawks at Spurs picks and predictionsPrediction
Spurs 124, Hawks 119
The Hawks are 7-2 in road games and 4-0 in their last 4. The Spurs are 2-0 in 2 games without Wemby. But Atlanta has allowed 120 or more points in 3 straight games, while San Antonio’s last 3 opponents have not scored more than 110 points.
The Spurs are 7-2 at home this season, and those 2 losses were to the Warriors.
BET SPURS (-115).
There is little difference in the ML and the spread odds, and betting the ML avoids the potential 1-point win that is an ATS loss. Neither team is a reliable ATS bet, as the Hawks are 8-7 ATS and the Spurs 7-6-1 ATS.
