We’ve come back down to Earth a tad but we’re still riding high to start the NBA season, going 11-5 for +12 units so far. I don’t have a ton of time to write this post but below is a side I really like today– Let’s get some more wins!

NFL Season: 52-46, +14.1 units

Hawks 1H -6.5 (-115), 2 units:

  • The Pistons have yet to score 90 points (2 games but, still)
  • Jerami Grant, their best offensive weapon, is questionable and dealing with an injury
  • The Pistons are one of the most (if not THE most) talent poor rosters in the NBA
  • The Hawks lost embarrassingly against the Cavs a few nights ago
  • The Hawks are at home and they’re significantly more talented on both sides of the court. That alone is often worth the points.
  • Trae Young didn’t play well in his last outing (8/22 from the field)
  • The Hawks are healthy and looking to bounce back in a big way

Atlanta currently sits around -12 for this contest, which is a little lower than my numbers but I can’t bet the full game at such a huge figure. What I can do, and what I will do, is bet that the Hawks will come out on fire and overwhelm the Pistons early and often. I love this first half line on the Hawks — take it and don’t think twice!
