Brooklyn Nets Daily Fantasy Spin
Brooklyn shooting guards Ben Simmons (hip) and Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) will both be out for Wednesday’s game and multiple contests after that as well. Simmons is leading the team in rebounding with 10.8 boards per game and assists with 6.7 dimes per game. Walker is averaging 14.6 points per game in a bench role this season.
Nets small forward Dorian Finney-Smith missed the team’s last game with a right knee injury, but he’s probable for Wednesday’s road tilt with the Hawks. DFS is averaging 11.0 points per game in 17 starts for Brooklyn in 2023.
Atlanta Hawks Daily Fantasy Spin
Hawks small forward Jalen Johnson will miss Wednesday’s game and likely multiple additional weeks worth of games. He suffered a left wrist fracture at the end of November. Johnson was in the midst of a breakout campaign before getting injured. His stat line of 14.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game underscores how important he was to the Hawks so far this season.
Atlanta’s Trae Young made a valiant effort in his team’s 132-121 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough. The Oklahoma alum had 32 points and 12 assists while shooting 13 of 28 from the field and 5 of 13 from beyond the arc.

Nets vs. Hawks NBA Prediction:
This line is likely a reflection of some recency bias. In Brooklyn’s last game, they smashed Orlando 129-101 at home on Saturday night. Atlanta lost to Milwaukee 132-121 on the road on Saturday night in their last contest. The public, predictably, has jumped on the Nets and the points in this contest. I’m not so sure that’s the right side.
There might be some value on the over due to how well Atlanta can score the basketball. The Hawks are 9th in three-point shooting percentage, 10th in effective field goal percentage, 7th in true shooting percentage, 4th in offensive efficiency, and 2nd in points scored per game. I think Atlanta is able to outshoot Brooklyn in this one, so I’m laying the points with the Hawks at home on Wednesday.
