The Atlanta Hawks will be on the road to take on the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, December 1st. The tip-off is set for 7:00 from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Both of these squads are coming off of days off.
Indiana opened up as a 1.5 point favorite and that number is now down to 1. The total has pretty much stayed at 217.5, but I have seen some get to 218.
Atlanta Hawks
This Hawks squad has not played great yet this year. Granted, they have not played terribly, but I think some folks thought they would be a little more consistent right about now.
This team has won 3 of their last 4 games. After getting off to a very bad start, it does seem like maybe they are turning a corner.
There are a lot of theories out there as to why this team is struggling. Some feel it is due to the pressure of them making the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago. Now, people view them as a good team and no longer a Cinderella story.
Overall, I feel this is a very talented team. I would not put them in the upper tier of clubs in the Eastern Conference, but that is not a knock on them, it just shows how loaded the East is right now.
Atlanta last played on Saturday against the Knicks, where they lost by a score of 99-90. The third quarter is what killed them in that game. It will be interesting to see how they respond when they go against a solid team in Indy.
You have got to give the defense for New York credit in the loss on Saturday. Holding a team like the Hawks to 90 points is no easy task. I do feel they can have a better day on that side of the ball when they go against the Pacers.
Indiana Pacers
To be totally honest, this Pacers team has been disappointing, to say the least. Can they get better? Sure, but at this point, it seems unlikely.
Indiana comes into this game with a record of 9-14, which puts them in 13th place in the conference. It is going to be hard to dig out of that hole.
Look, I never thought this would be a championship-level team, but I did feel they could be better than their current record. Maybe I just gave them too much credit from the beginning.
They last played on Monday, where they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves by a score of 100-98. In past years, that is a team they would have been able to handle.
I understand that the T-Wolves are a better team, but only scoring 98 points against them? Really? You have got to do better than that, no questions asked!
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games.

- The Pacers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games played on a Wednesday.
Atlanta Hawks vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction:
This is a matchup between two teams that have simply underperformed this year. I guess something has to give when they square off.
After having some days off, the Hawks should be able to learn from their mistakes in the loss to the Knicks and pick up a win on Wednesday.
As far as the Pacers go, you never know what to expect from. They could make this thing competitive or they could lay an egg.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Hawks ATS
I actually feel that the Hawks are the better team, but I am not surprised that they are slight dogs on the road here.
In this one, I like Atlanta as the underdog. I really do not trust the Pacers to cover, even though it is a very small number. Give me the points in this one.
