Atlanta at Toronto

Atlanta is trying to hang on to the final seed in the East, three games up on the hard charging Knicks, so there is plenty of motivation. This efficient, unselfish offense is 13th in the NBA in points scored and tops in assists. Toronto is favored, but are not a strong offensive team, focusing on defense first as they rank 14th in points scored and rebounds. Toronto is off a draining game against Oklahoma City, dueling over 58 minutes Friday night with Kevin Durant hitting a back-breaking 3-pointer in the final moments of the second overtime period as the Thunder escaped with a 119-118 win. Atlanta won a 118-113 shootout with the Raptors in their last encounter. The road team is 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings between these teams, and the Hawks are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Toronto. Play Atlanta.
