The current betting odds have the Hawks listed as a 5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hawks have looked terrible in their games this season with their 19-27 record overall which has them outside of a playoff spot in the East. They haven't even looked good on their home court either with their 9-13 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Lakers have looked decent in their games this season with their 24-23 record overall which has them fighting for a play-in spot in the West. The Lakers have looked terrible in their road games this season though with their 7-15 road record and even though they have won 2 games in a row now with some momentum on their side, they are still in a bad situation for this game. They are playing this game on a back-to-back while the Hawks have been at home rested and they are going to bring their best effort in this game as they badly need a win to turn things around. The best way to place a bet here is on the Hawks to cover the spread in this game.
