The Grizzlies, meanwhile, have covered the spread in five of their last seven trips to Atlanta. They're also 8-2-1 at the betting window in their last 11 games coming off a loss, are 8-3 against the spread in their last 11 games overall, and are 6-1 against the number in their last seven games versus a team with a losing record.

On the other side, the Hawks have failed to cover the spread in five of their last seven games overall, are 1-5-1 against the number in their last seven games coming off a win, and are winless at 0-4 at the betting window in their last four games when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.
