Orlando at Atlanta

The Hawks are the up and coming team in the NBA and are finally learning to win some on the road, while at home they have become one of the elite teams in the league at 15-2. The only team that has beaten the Hawks this season on their homecourt with a winning record is the Boston Celtics by the slimmest of margins, just 3 points. The Magic have played well, but in their last five on the road they are just 2-3 vs teams that are over .500 and after a 12-1 ATS run they have now dropped their last two. This is the first of back-to-back games between these two teams and I expect Atlanta to come out to make the statement here that they belong, and will back the Hawks.
