Bet on Nets vs. Hawks

The Nets like to play fast and the Hawks aren't all that good defensively. Don't look at past meetings that have stayed under the total. These teams are due for a higher-scoring game against each other and tonight provides the perfect setting. The Nets are starting to get healthier, while the Hawks should be looking to run more without centers Dwayne Dedmon or John Collins in the lineup.
