Trail Blazers vs. Hawks Best Bets
Blazers +7 (-110 DraftKings)
Portland isn’t playing their best basketball right now, but seven points seems a bit steep for an Atlanta team that’s lost three of their last five games and is just getting used to their new Head Coach. The Blazers (114.9) are averaging just two fewer points per game this season than the Hawks (116.9) and are allowing 2.5 fewer points per tilt than tonight’s opponent this season, (2.4 in the last 3 games).
The Hawks are the fifth-worst team in the NBA ATS this season (27-34-1), take Portland with the points.
Risk: 1.1 units on DraftKings to win 1 unit. (Playable to -120)
