The Hawks are coming into this game as an 8.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hawks have been playing much better in their recent games and they are starting to win more and playing much better at home as well. They are going up against a Kings team that have been struggling to win games for weeks now and have been a bad team all season. The Hawks are not in a playoff spot right now but they will surely be making a push for the playoffs soon enough. The best bet to place in this game is on the Hawks to cover the spread here.

“You have to guard in a way that you just don’t give up the last 11 points of the game. You just can’t do it. The bottom line is that they made big shots when they had to and we didn’t get the last one in the basket. We played well enough to win. We just didn’t finish the game.” - Alvin Gentry on his team’s loss against the Pistons on Wednesday.

 

 

"We are definitely headed in the right direction. Right now it's more about consistency and keeping it going. We're not satisfied. We know what to do and what we are capable of doing." - Trae Young after their win against the Hornets on Sunday.
