ATL HAWKS +6.5
(NBA) Kings (SAC) vs. Hawks (ATL),
Point Spread: 6.50 | -112.00 Hawks (ATL) (Home)
Result: Loss
While the Hawks' perimeter defense has been terrible so far this season, Sacramento isn't looking like a sharpshooting squad from long range (19th in 3-point shooting at 34.8%). The Kings' defense fared well against the Jazz and Blazers in the last two games but allowed 119.2 points per 100 possessions to the Timberwolves and Lakers in their first two games.

Atlanta is down several players, but it still has Trae Young and Jalen Johnson. ATL averages 1.185 points per possession with a +0.7 net rating when they're on the floor together. I bet the Hawks will show up with a spirited effort after a couple of disappointing losses to Washington.
