Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 27-26
The Hawks began a difficult five-game road trip through the West with a tough loss at Portland. However, they were able to bounce back and win the next two games, something that has helped them consolidate their position in the play-in zone and place them just 2.0 games away from the spots that give them direct access to the postseason.
The most recent of its triumphs came last night against the Utah Jazz. They dominated the game from start to finish and ended up winning 115–108 thanks to a very good combined performance by Trae Young and De’Andre Hunter, who scored 27 and 26 points, respectively.
Despite those two wins, being a visitor has not been easy for the Hawks this season, leaving them with a 13-15 record and boasting an average of 117.1 points scored and 118.0 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Season record: 36-17
The Nuggets have steadied their ship after losing three of their last four games by winning their last two, both at home, bringing their record to 24-4 and maintaining their position as the Western Conference leader.
Their two victories came against tough opponents, the New Orleans Pelicans on January 31st and the Golden State Warriors last Thursday. Nikola Jokić recorded a triple-double of 22 points, 16 assists, and 12 rebounds, while Jamal Murray led the team in scoring with 33 points.
Not only is their home record impressive, but their stats are equally outstanding. The Nuggets boast a strong offense, averaging 120.3 points per game, while also having a solid defense, limiting opponents to 109.4 points per game and 45.9% field goal shooting.
JefeBet Prediction
The Hawks have improved lately, but this game will present a much more difficult challenge against the top team in the West and without rest after playing the night before, a scenario in which they hold a 2-5 record.
Furthermore, the Nuggets have an added advantage of an extra day of rest, further increasing their chances of success at Ball Arena where they have dominated, covering the Spread in 18 of 28 games.
Jokic continues to impress and Murray has made a strong comeback this season. Being the home team, they are expected to exploit the Hawks’ defensive weaknesses and secure a strong victory in this game.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Spread.
