This is a 10* TOP EASTERN-CONFERENCE TOTAL on the OVER Hawks/Nets.

I had a play on Atlanta in its 118-111 win over Washington on Monday. That victory snapped a three-game slide. Trae Young led all scorers with 26 points, while Clint Capela added 16 points and 12 boards.

After a slow start, the Nets have some ground to make up. They've had to make quick adjustments without Kyrie Iriving in the line-up, but they enter off their second straight victory, smashing the Pistons 117-91 on Sunday.

James Harden had 18 points, 12 assists and ten boards.

Both teams have been decent defensively in the early going, but I'm anticipating a faster-paced contest here. The Nets have yet to play to a single OVER this season, and that fact has now driven this O/U line too low.

Look for these two teams to put the foot on the gas from start to finish.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
