Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Difference Maker: The Hawks have covered the spread in their last 4 meetings with basically the lineup that will play on Saturday. Atlanta has too many options in their top-heavy starting five, while the Pelicans are once again allowing opponents to drop 120+ points per game this season.
What to Expect: The Hawks take advantage of the Pelicans’ porous defense to secure a convincing win on the road. Averaging 119.4 points per game, New Orleans can certainly mix it up with the Hawks in terms of scoring. However, their defense still cannot prevent the other team from scoring too many points. The Pelicans own the second-worst opponent field goal percentage at 49.7 FG%.
Fearless Forecast: The Hawks 127, the Pelicans 120
Our betting prediction for the Atlanta Hawks vs. the New Orleans Pelicans: The Hawks -4.5 points
