Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
The Nets’ dark days are behind them, and they are now one of the most successful teams in the NBA at the moment, reaching third place in the Eastern Conference and moving to within 2 games of the top of the standings thanks to a great streak of nine consecutive victories, in which they have been very strong on offense and solid on defense..
The ninth win of that streak came Monday on the road against a strong team like the Cleveland Cavaliers by a score of 125-117, thanks again to a superb combined performance by Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who scored 32 points each, while T.J. Warren contributed another 23 off the bench.
Brooklyn has now won its last five games on the road, improving its record to 10-7 and allowing an average of 113.9 points scored and 112.9 points allowed.
Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks, who are currently in seventh place in the standings but are only a half-game away from one of the direct playoff spots, are still searching for the consistency that will finally solidify them as a legitimate contender to contend for one of those spots. Considering this, they are aware that a victory here is essential to achieving their goals.
Plus, being at home gives them a better chance of doing so, as State Farm Arena is where they have won 11 of their 17 games this season, and where they have recorded two of their last three wins over the Nets. Given that they average 114.9 points scored per game but also allow 113.1 points per game, they must be more capable overall if they want to continue to have success.
JefeBet Prediction
Even if the Hawks are a difficult team to defeat at home, they still possess some defensive flaws that the Nets will undoubtedly exploit since they are motivated by Durant and Irving, who will also benefit from an extra day of rest.
Having played the night before might also take its roll on the home offense, which features Trae Young, one of the top scorers in the league. Still, they will now face a Nets defense that is not the best, but has performed admirably lately.
Under normal conditions this would be a much more even match, but we think not having played on the previous night gives the Nets a lot of advantage despite being on the road; therefore, we expect the Nets to make the difference from the beginning and take the victory.
Prediction: Brooklyn Nets Spread.
