Lakers at Hawks picks and predictionsPrediction<\/p>\n

Lakers 120, Hawks 113<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

Expect the Lakers (-165) to keep their winning streak alive, but they are just too expensive to play on the moneyline.<\/p>\n

BET LAKERS -3.5 (-115).<\/p>\n

The Doncic-led Lakers have one of the most efficient attacks in the NBA, ranking seventh in offensive rating. They top the league in true shooting percentage (62.6%).<\/p>\n

The Hawks come in at 24th in offensive rating. While their defense remains solid, Atlanta has allowed at least 112 points in 6 of 9 games. It is just 1-3 ATS at home and has failed to top 100 points in 2 of those contests. The Lakers, meanwhile, are 4-0 straight up and 4-0 ATS on the road.<\/p>\n

Back LAKERS -3.5 (-115).<\/p>\n

BET OVER 230.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

Both teams play at a reasonably fast tempo, with the Hawks ranking 13th and the Lakers 16th in pace. The Lakers\u2019 consistent offense should continue their trend of tallying at least 116 points — they are 3-1 O\/U on the season.<\/p>\n

Atlanta has alternated going Over and Under in its last 7 games and is primed to top the total here. Take OVER 230.5 (-110).<\/p>\n
