The Atlanta Hawks (7-4) play at home on Monday at State Farm Arena at 7:00 pm ET against the Los Angeles Lakers (8-2). On Saturday, the Hawks edged past the Brooklyn Nets 124-121 and have won four straight. Los Angeles beat Portland on Friday 124-118 for its fourth consecutive win. The Lakers must play Detroit on Sunday before moving on to Atlanta for Monday’s meeting with the Hawks. The Hawks are our pick to win.
Atlanta has bounced back from an inconsistent start with four straight wins. Jalen Johnson scored 30 points against Brooklyn, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker chipped in with 20. The Hawks score an average of 118.6 per game and allow 115.5. Atlanta needs to tighten up its defense against a tough Lakers attack. The Hawks have won three of five at home to start the season.
Los Angeles scores an average of 122.0 points per game and allows 114.3. Luka Doncic has been the Lakers' leader on offense, averaging 40.1 points per game. On the road, the Lakers are 3-1, and their win against Portland showed how dangerous an offense they possess. Doncic has suffered some lower-back tightness, and playing the second half of a back-to-back could affect his play.

Our Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Lakers have the offensive talent to beat Atlanta, but their schedule could work against them. After playing in Detroit on Sunday, Los Angeles must make a quick turnaround against a Hawks team that has won four straight. Atlanta hasn't always defended well, so the visitors should still find opportunities to score. The difference could be how fresh the teams are when the game gets tight.
Johnson is playing well, and the Hawks have momentum along with home court. Los Angeles has been effective away from home, but Monday asks a lot of the Lakers on short rest. If Atlanta keeps pace offensively, its extra day off could prove decisive.
Our pick for Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Lakers is: Hawks win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
