Atlanta Hawks
Moneyline Pick: Los Angeles (-170) - A-

Kawhi Leonard has efficiently led Los Angeles to some good form lately, while Atlanta also having good form, winning 4of their last 5. With both Paul George and Russell Westbrook healthy, the Clippers look strong against a Hawks lineup missing a key bench scorer. Historically, Los Angeles has fared well in cross-conference matchups, showcasing steady dominance in previous meetings. The moderate odds and the Clippers’ momentum combine for a solid A- pick, providing a favorable return for those backing them on the road.

Over/Under Pick: Over 232, (-110) - B+

Trae Young (although not 100% for this game) leads the Hawks looking to extend their four-game win streak, while the visiting Clippers ride some decent powered by a healthy Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Although Atlanta is hindered by a lingering knee issue for one of its rotation bigs, Los Angeles appears relatively intact, pointing toward an offensive shootout. Historically, these teams have traded high-scoring affairs in the Southeastern matchups, especially when Young’s playmaking and Leonard’s clutch shooting collide. With an Over of 232, a successful bet at -110 odds could turn a decent profit, and given both squads’ capacity to exceed their scoring averages when fully healthy, this pick earns a B+ for its likelihood of cashing in.

Spread Pick: Los Angeles Clippers, -3.5 (-110) - B
Kawhi Leonard remains the key offensive catalyst for the Clippers, who enter this contest on a three-game winning surge against an Atlanta squad struggling through two straight losses. With Norman Powell reportedly nursing an arm issue, Los Angeles still boasts a deeper rotation compared to a Hawks roster missing vital interior defense lately. Historically, the Clippers have turned the tide in Eastern Conference road matchups, showcasing their ability to control tempo against teams like Atlanta. Rolling with Los Angeles at -3.5 earns a solid B for its balanced risk and promising return on investment if the spread pick lands.
