In this matchup, we are backing the Hawks in Atlanta against the Thunder. The Hawks currently hold a 13-19 record, while the Thunder hold a record of 23-9. Despite the record discrepancy, the line on this game is nearly a pick 'em. This is a tough spot for the Thunder, who played the Celtics yesterday. OKC won the game as 4 point underdogs. A lot of energy was exhausted in what was a hard fought battle for the Thunder. Gilgeous-Alexander and Holmgren both played close to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, the Hawks haven’t had a game since Sunday. There is a massive rest advantage for Atlanta tonight. The Hawks have the 6th most efficient offense, and they play at the 5th fastest pace in the NBA. Atlanta is one of the few teams who thrive on the fast pace that OKC likes to play. Many NBA bettors are gravitating toward laying the short number on OKC given how well they have been playing. OKC is catching the bulk of the public tickets, yet this line has been moving toward the Hawks. There looks to be a lot of sharp and respected money coming in Atlanta. Throughout the day, all of the plus money on the Hawks moneyline has been wiped off the board. Our wager is a half unit on the Hawks +1.

We are taking the road dogs to cover the spread in Houston tonight. The Rockets have not been playing well over their last 4 games. Houston has gone 1-3 both straight up, and against the spread. Their lone win came against the Detroit Pistons. The Nets have also been struggling recently, suffering a wire-to-wire defeat yesterday against the Pelicans. Brooklyn’s defense has been poor. However, they have been able to limit their opponents’ interior scoring to only 46 points per game. Houston’s defense has taken a hit in the absence of Dillon Brooks, who will miss tonight's game. The Nets have the edge on the boards, maintaining a slightly better rebound rate on both offense and defense. Brooklyn also has a better offensive efficiency rating. 5.5 points is too many for us to pass up in this matchup. Nets +5.5 is our wager. Our stake is a half unit.
