Atlanta at Brooklyn

The oddsmakers are telling us something with this line. Dating back to last year, the Nets have won just three times out of 50 when facing a winning team. So why set this line so low? This looks like the classic trap game and I'm not falling for it. The Atlanta Hawks opened at 6-0 but have fallen to 8-6 on the season. They were humiliated at home last night against Boston, losing by 23 points. This team is in disarray and the players don't seem ready to play. Head coach Larry Drew insinuated that his team was spending too much time partying the night before games. Atlanta is just 4-19 ATS in their last 23 games off a home blowout loss of 20+ points. I'm on the Nets plus the points here.
