Hawks vs Nets Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick

Under 225.5(-110)

Reasoning

The Atlanta Hawks will be hoping to stay red hot when they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. Atlanta is an unbelievable 17-2 in its last 19 games to take over the current #5 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks have been getting the job done on both ends of the floor, but their newfound commitment to defense has been especially impressive. Given that they are facing an inept offense in this matchup, my Hawks vs Nets pick is Under 225.5. Atlanta limited its last 2 opponents — Boston and Orlando — to 102 and 101 points, respectively. Dyson Daniels, “The Great Barrier Thief,” has made multiple steals in 14 of his last 18 appearances. Daniels and company are now going up against a Brooklyn squad that is committing the second-most turnovers per possession this season.

By pretty much any metric you can think of, the Nets’ offense stinks. They rank dead last in the NBA by a country mile at 106.0 points per game. In all-out tank mode as it positions itself for the NBA Draft lottery, head coach Jordi Fernandez’s squad has failed to reach the century mark in 8 of its last 11 contests. This stretch includes 3 performances with 92 points or fewer over the past 8 games — including 86 in Tuesday’s embarrassing loss to Charlotte. It’s hard to see the Nets getting to 100 on Friday, so Over bettors are basically asking the Hawks to score at least 227. That seems unlikely in a game that will probably be over for all intents and purposes by halftime against an opponent that likes to play slow (Brooklyn ranks #27 in the NBA in pace of play).

Hawks vs Nets prediction: Under 225.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
