This is a 10* TOP SIDE on the Atlanta Hawks.

Atlanta was the biggest surprise team last season and it was supposed to take another step forward this year, but so far that hasn't been the case as Nate McMillan's team, which is just 4-8 this season.

Denver is 7-4. The Nuggets have gone 3-0 SU/ATS over their last three, but I expect a bit of a mental letdown here finally, as they get caught looking ahead to Portland and Dallas up next.

The Hawks have lost five straight, both SU and ATS. This is the finale of a four-game road trip. They've lost every game so far, but I expect Trae Young and company to be the much more motivated team tonight. ATL has a night off after this before a five-game homestand with the Bucks coming to town next, they'll be eager to stop the slide here and now.

The Hawks are also 7-3 ATS in their last ten after playing to five or more straight ATS losses in a row.

While the outright win is possible, my official call will be to grab as many points as you can on the HAWKS.

Good luck, NP
