PICK 2: ATL Hawks ML (1.50 at FanDuel)


Clippers look absolutely terrible without PG, and they’re coming into this match with some few more absences. Despite Zubac’s return today, I don’t think he can turn things around for Clippers today.

Some facts & stats:

  1. Clippers have lost 5 straight home matches (against: Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Nets, Nuggets, and Spurs)
  2. Hawks won 6 out of their last 10 matches
  3. Clippers are one of the most innefficient offensive teams (105.1 PPG)
  4. Last 10 matches, Clippers’ average points have dropped to 103PPG
  5. Hawks are in top 6 offensive teams, scoring 111.3PPG
  6. C.Capela is at GTD (ankle), after suffering an injury vs Lakers. But he'll most probably get back to the floor tonight.

My model has Hawks to win at 59% -- not the best, but I'm testing it out.

Clippers are lost without PG, especially as Leonard is out for a season as well. They lost 2 main offensive powerhouses, and there's no way they can somehow substitute those 2 with someone else.
The fact that Clippers lost 8 out of their last 10 matches without PG speaks volumes!

 I expect Hawks to take the W today, as Clippers' suffering continues.

Good luck!
