Atlanta has opened to an 8-2 record and they have covered the spread in 9 of their 10 games (90%). Portland has opened the season 8-3 SU and 8-3 ATS, so they are clearly a good team. But let’s be honest, Portland has been a favorite in all 11 games so really they were supposed to win every one and didn’t.Atlanta is taking care of business at home, going 4-0 S.U. and 4-0 ATS while outscoring opponents by 17.5 points/game. The Hawks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5 points.
The Hawks have been winning their home games by an average score of 117-99. Atlanta continues its current four-game homestand after this contest against Miami and Houston.
The Hawks have won the last two meetings with Portland SU and ATS, while the ‘under’ has cashed each time. Atlanta won the lone meeting this season November 3 as a seven-point road underdog, 97-91, while the combined 188 points went ‘under’ the 192-point closing total.
Portland guard Jerryd Bayless is questionable against the Hawks due to an ankle injury, while forward Travis Outlaw (foot) will not play.
