Denver at Atlanta

The Atlanta Hawks have had a miserable start, some of which is due to losing PG Dennis Schroder, who remains questionable at this time. The Hawks are off to a sluggish 1-4 start, and have dropped their last four by an average margin of 11.5 points per game. It isn't like they have been playing the top of the league either, as the losses have come to Brooklyn, Charlotte, Miami, and Chicago. The Nuggets are 1-3, and have not shown to be a high-level team either, but they are in the mix of caliber of teams that are punishing Atlanta. The Hawks are getting crushed off the glass and the last four games shows their deficit off the boards at -12.8 per contest. Denver is well equipped to take advantage as they are +8 off the glass a game. Lay the points and take Denver.
