Just a lil info about this game. We know that the Lakers are coming off a big @ San Antonio (99-83) on Sun. While the Hawks lost at home to Knicks (79-92) The Lakers are 7-3 SU their last 10. And are 4-1 ATS their last 5 on the road. The Hawks to have revenge in this game as they lost @ LA (104-80) back on the 22nd of Feb. That is more than likely why this game did not open at 7.5 or even 8 points. The Hawks (as noted below) are 1-4 SU the last 5 at home. And, 1-6 ATS their last 6 at home. At the time of this post about 87% of the public was on LA. Good luck to everyone today.
