NBA Betting Trends
Atlanta
The Hawks are 5-1 against the spread in their last six against Western Conference opponents and 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 games against Pacific Division opponents.
Sacramento
The Kings are 12-1 against the spread in their last 13 games against Southeast Division opponents. Sacramento is 24-9 ATS in its last 33 against Eastern Conference opponents.
Prediction:
The Hawks had a nice win on Monday, but I don’t think it will carry over tonight. Atlanta has a poor defense and is going to face a really good offensive team on their home floor. The Kings should have no problem scoring, as Atlanta doesn’t have the players to stop them. The spread isn’t much for them to cover, so I will go with Sacramento to handle its business at home.
