Preview:
Atlanta have been absolutely dreadful of late, losing 10 straight to fall to 4-16. Golden State have been even worse in an admittedly tougher conference, starting out at 4-17 themselves.
The Hawks are rather substantial 6-point favourites for this clash, receiving 60% of the early money. Much like yesterday, I see decent value in Golden State as road underdogs.
Given how they’ve played of late, I just don’t see how Atlanta can be favoured by 6 here. This is their first game back after a 3-game road trip and I can see them getting off to a sluggish start.
They really lack quality rotation players, with a starting frontcourt of Hunter, Parker, and Jones providing atrocious defense. The interior has generally been a weakness for Golden State this season, but I think they’ve actually got the edge here.
After battling injuries all season, it appears a few reinforcements are coming for Golden State in this clash. Kevon Looney was a useful rotation piece last season and will noticeably improve a weak interior.
Although they played last night, I don’t anticipate the travel and fatigue to be too draining for such a young side. This game appears almost a dead ringer for their one in Orlando yesterday, where they were competitive throughout en route to a cover.
Ultimately, these two teams are very similar and I can see a fairly close game materializing late. Especially getting so many points, I’ll gladly take the contrarian angle with the Warriors here.
Odds:
Tip: Atlanta Hawks at $1.37
