Analysis
The Hawks are coming into this game with a 43-33 record this season. They have been on fire in their recent games as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games. They are coming off of a dominant 112-102 win at home against the Celtics in their last game and 4 of their last 5 wins have come by 10+ points as well. Their offense has been very consistent with 120+ points scored in 4 of their last 6 games and their defense has been very good in these games as well, holding opponents under 110 points in each of their last 3 games. They are going up against a Magic team that is 40-35 this season. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and they are coming off of a 115-111 win at home against the Suns in their last game, but they also blew a 20 point lead in that game, making it much closer than it needed to be in the end, and they have still lost 7 of their last 9 games as well. Their offense has been struggling more in their last 3 games as they do not have a very strong offense this season, and their defense has not been good recently either, allowing 128+ points in 3 of their last 5 games. They have been much better at home this season, but they have lost 3 of their last 5 games there and they are not in a great spot here. They are playing this game on a B2B as well as it being their 3rd game in the last 4 days, so the Hawks have the rest advantage and they did just dominate the Magic at home a few weeks ago. The Hawks will cover the spread in this game.
