The Hawks rank last in the league in scoring defense, as Atlanta is giving up 117.5 points per game while allowing opponents to shoot 47.3 percent. Offensively, Atlanta is putting up 109.9 points per game while shooting 45.1 percent. Kent Bazemore is out for the Hawks until next month due to an ankle injury. He was averaging 14 points per game. John Collins is leading the team with 19.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game while Trae Young is adding 16.2 points and 7.3 assists per contest.

The Clippers have been able to score pretty well, putting up 114.1 points per game this season while shooting 47 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from the arc. Defensively, the Clippers are allowing 113.3 points per game. Danilo Gallinari is listed as doubtful to return from his back injury tonight. He was averaging 19 points and 6 rebounds per game for the Clippers. Tobias Harris is currently leading the team with 21.1 points and 7.9 rebounds per contest.

NBA Betting Trends

Atlanta

The Hawks are 1-5 against the spread in their last six Monday games and 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games against Pacific Division opponents.

Los Angeles

The Clippers have covered the spread in 12 of their last 16 against Southeast Division opponents and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on no rest.

Prediction:

With the injury to Gallinari and the back-to-back situation, the Clippers aren’t giving up too many points to a bad Atlanta team. The Hawks are a disaster on defense and that won’t match up well with a Los Angeles offense that can really score, especially at home. The Hawks have given up 120 or more in two of their last three road games and I think they will have a hard time keeping pace with the Clippers tonight.

NBA Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers -6
