BETTING TRENDS

Atlanta are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games.

Atlanta are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games on the road.

Oklahoma City are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games.

The total has gone OVER in 8 of Oklahoma City's last 9 games against Atlanta.

Prediction

The Hawks could be shorthanded once again with Gallinari out and Hunter questionable for this game. Atlanta has failed to cover the spread in 7 of their last 9 games on the road and allowing 115 ppg. The Thunder have their best player Gilgeous-Alexander out for the season but are 7-0 ATS last 7 games. Trae Young, Capela and Bogdanovic are capable of doing enough damage to win this game and if Hunter plays this will get ugly for the Thunder. Take the Hawks.

PICK: Hawks -12 (-110)
