On the year, Atlanta is 10-14-1 against the spread while Brooklyn is 11-14-1.
These two teams have not faced off during the 2022-23 regular season.
Atlanta Hawks
The big storyline for the Hawks of late is the injury bug. Dejounte Murray is the most recent hit and should be sidelined about two weeks.
Murray was lost early in Atlanta’s Wednesday contest again the Knicks, and he’s set to join John Collins and De’Andre Hunter as OUT for Friday.
Offensively, Atlanta is scoring 113 points per contest, which puts the team in 15th.
In terms of advanced stats, the Hawks score 108.8 points per 100 possessions. That number places them in 20th.
Defensively, this groups allows 113.6 points per night, putting them in 16th.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, Atlanta gives up 109.2 points per 100 possessions—a number that ranks 10th on the year.
Brooklyn Nets
The Nets are working their way out of the hole they found themselves in early in the year. They’re currently in the fourth seed out West and have won seven of their last 10 straight up.
If there’s any problem with the results, it’s that the team still isn’t winning convincingly, which is only a problem when you consider the minutes it requires of Kevin Durant (and other core pieces).
Atlanta will give the Nets an opportunity to do just that on Friday.
On the season, Brooklyn scores 111.3 points per night—a number that ranks 20th.
Looking at the advanced stats, they’re scoring 111.6 points per 100 possessions, which puts them in 8th.
Defensively, Brooklyn is giving up 110.3 points per night. That number ranks No. 10 in the NBA.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, the Nets give up 107.8 points per 100 possessions, putting them in No. 5t across the Association—a tie with the LA Clippers.
On the injury report, Brooklyn lists Yuta Watanabe as OUT.

Free Atlanta Hawks vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
All indications are that Ben Simmons will make his return on Friday. Keep an eye on his status as we get closer, but whether or not he suits up, I like the Nets to finish their long homestand with a big win.
The Hawks are too shorthanded at the moment, and their defense will struggle containing the Nets’ offense, which only scores as few points as it does because of the slow pace it runs.
Brooklyn should take control of this one early, giving its stars a chance to rest late.
