Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
They have slowly, but surely, put themselves among the top teams in the East, but they are not the most consistent team in the NBA. In the last two games, Dejounte Murray and Clint Capela have been the backbone of this team that continues to fight in their conference. Unfortunately, Murray has suffered a sprained ankle that will probably keep him out of the game, a very hard casualty to have.
Against Denver, Murray contributed with 34 points, and Capela pulled down 11 boards, in that game they won 117-109. During the 121-114 loss to the Thunder, Dejounte scored 24 points, and Clint had 16 rebounds. Those were pretty good numbers for the duo.
Trae Young continues to be the Hawks’ scoring leader, but these last two games he was lights out. Against Orlando, he scored 30 points, which also was one of his best games of the season, but he fell into a slump, which definitely affects Atlanta as he is the team’s biggest star.
Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
Here come the Nets. After a shaky start, they are already playing very well. Kevin Durant is flying and Kyrie Irving is back, after his previous show off the court, which only affected the team.
They had won 4 consecutive victories, but Boston stopped the Nets’ good momentum and defeated them 103-92. In most of the last five games, where they accumulated only that one loss against Boston, Kevin Durant has scored no less than 31 points. Brooklyn is taking things seriously, finally.
At home, they are a strong team, as of the last 10 games they have played, they have only lost three, and the most recent one was that loss against Boston, but it is very difficult to defeat the Celtics anywhere, they are the best team in the NBA nowadays.
JefeBet Prediction
We think that the game is pretty even, but Brooklyn has people in better shape than Atlanta does. Durant and Irving will give the victory to the Nets, who will climb up the standings and get closer to the Cavs, a team that they have as their next target.
The Hawks’ intermittency will take its toll, Trae Young’s slump and Dejounte Murray’s absence will weaken them, and getting into Brooklyn is not easy. They’re going to fight, but it’s tough for them to get the win against a well functioning Nets.
Prediction: Brooklyn Nets Moneyline.
