NBA Free Picks 2008 Hawks Hit the Road Against Pacers
Atlanta Hawks (36-41) vs. Indiana Pacers (33-44)

Tuesday, April 8th --- Conseco Fieldhouse, Indiana --- 7:00pm EST

NBA Betting Line: Indiana -3 (212.5)

The sports betting community will notice Atlanta has steadily started to shed that dreaded tag as a “road dog” by going 4-2 SU in their last 6 games after going 6-19 SU in their last 25 roadies. Their record against-the-spread has improved in turn, leading to a 4-2 ATS record in the last 6 games away from the ATL. On top of that, they’ve been scoring the lights out, and been getting torched in the process defensively. That’s why the OVER is always a sexy bet with the Hawks.

But they’re running in to a surprising Eastern Conference contender in the Indiana Pacers. Jermaine O’Neal has been playing out of his mind, and the wins are coming in tow. They are 4-1 SU in their past 5 games, not to mention 8-1 SU in their last 9 home games. With a 4-2 ATS record in their last 6 meetings with the Atlanta Hawks, there’s a lot of reason to love Indiana in this matchup.
