Pacers vs Hawks Prediction | NBA Picks

Anyways, when comparing these Eastern Conference teams’ betting records, Indiana is 11-14 as a favorite, 8-22 as an underdog and 12-14-1 ATS away, whereas Atlanta is 17-14 as a favorite, 8-14 as an underdog and 14-13 ATS at home. While the Pacers are on a three-game skid, the Hawks are aiming to bounce back from two consecutive losses. Even if Malcolm Brogdon returns tonight for the Pacers, the Hawks have played better over their last 10 contests.

Equally important, Atlanta is entering this matchup as a heavy 10.5-point favorite. And, the Pacers are still without T.J. Warren, T.J. McConnell and Myles Turner. Could Brogdon and Sabonis carry this team to a potential upset win on the road? It’s doubtful. Therefore, pick the Hawks to win, the Pacers will cover the spread and the total will go under 226.5.
