San Antonio Spurs vs Atlanta Hawks prediction
The Atlanta Hawks should win this game obviously, and it’s in Atlanta on MLK day, so the positive vibes should be here with a packed arena. However, the Hawks have been one of the biggest disappointments in the league, they don’t play defense, and they’re 9-29 ATS on the season. No team has lost bettors more money this season than the Hawks. Heck, the Hawks have outright lost 3 of their last 4 games in the favorite role. No, thanks. Give me the points with the Spurs as a fade of the Hawks more than anything else.
