Brooklyn at Atlanta

The worst thing in the world is for a professional athlete to get embarrassed, and that happened to every member of this Atlanta Hawks team their last time out on the floor. The Hawks were humbled in an offensive effort that was as bad as it gets, scoring a meager 58 points. If they are like most of the past teams in this situation, they can't wait to get on the floor tonight especially after having a day to think about the loss. Teams that score 58-66 points in their previous NBA game, and are playing as a favorite of more than 3 points in their next game are 21-3 ATS. When a team takes the court with this kind of focus, often the defense takes charge of the game. Brooklyn has won seven straight games, so I expect that to be the focal point here. Brooklyn has played to a 20-6 mark to the UNDER against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 in their last 26. The Hawks are also 5-0 to the UNDER in their last five vs. the East. Take Atlanta and play on the UNDER in this one.
