While the NBA odds have the Clippers as a 9.5-point favorite at home, the Hawks will have a key advantage that could prove costly for L.A.'s chances of covering. Read more in our NBA betting picks below.
It’s worth noting the defense has been better in March, ranking 12th in the seven games they’ve played, while the offense has been less than stellar with a 15th-ranked 113.7 efficiency rating. On the other side of the ball, though, Atlanta lost Saddiq Bey to a torn ACL two games which is a huge blow to this offense, and has also been playing without Trae Young and Onyeka Okongwu. So, despite the Clippers’ struggles on defense, they should be able to handle Atlanta given all the names missing from the lineup.
I like the Hawks to keep that up and find the offense they need from the 3-point line, and the status of Harden — who has missed the last two games — also makes me like the road dog even more.Without Young in the lineup, this has been the Dejounte Murray show. Since Atlanta’s lead man went down, Murray has played 37.5 minutes per game and attempted 21.8 shots per game, with nearly 10 of them coming from deep.
L.A. was initially a 10-point favorite and has been sitting around -9.5 or -10 for the entire betting window.
