I feel like this is the perfect time due to Miami's upcoming schedule. Miami begins a 4 game in 5 night stretch tomorrow and they have a brutal stretch in Jan/Feb where they play 14 out of 16 games on the road. I think Miami falls back pretty hard over the next 6 weeks and this turns in to a 2 team race between Atlanta and Orlando.
Orlando is still young and they struggle vs the division (1-3) while the Hawks own the division (5-1). I feel like GSW, SAS, OKC and Clev are on a level above every one else at this point. The Hawks only have 4 games left against this group with 2 vs GSW and 2 vs Clev. Orlando has 7 games left against these 4 with 2 vs GSW, 2 vs SAS, 1 vs OKC and 2 vs Clev.

Orlando also struggles on the road against good opponents while Atlanta fares better. Orlando is 1-5 on the road vs current playoff teams, with losses to Chi, Hous, Indy, LAC, Clev, while the Hawks are 4-3 with losses to Clev, OKC and SAS.

Figured I would update this thread. The line has dropped from +150 to -150 but this is still a great bet to take and this is the perfect time to take it if you missed out on the previous bet at +150.
Orlando has taken a step back and they are now 3 games behind Atlanta. They are 1-6 vs the division and 4-12 against playoff teams with 2 wins coming against 8th seeded Utah.
It currently looks like the SE race is down to Atlanta and Miami but I expect this gap to widen significantly in the near future. Atlanta has a clear advantage with their upcoming schedule and the amount of b2b's left to play.
B2B's
-Atlanta has 9 B2B's left with 5 at home and 4 away. 5 of the 9 are vs playoff teams with 2 vs Indy, 1 vs Dal, 1 vs LAC and 1 vs Det
-Miami has 11 B2B's left with only 1 at home. That's right, they will be playing away on the second night of the B2B in 10 of the remaining 11 B2B's. They only face 3 current playoff teams in Dallas, SAS and Toronto but they do face Wash x2, NYK, and Bos.
Upcoming schedule -Atlanta has a favorable schedule over the next month. They face 8 current lottery teams in a row before facing LAC at home on 1/27. They have 8 games vs playoff teams over their next 20 games with only 1 game vs an elite team (GSW). 11 of the 20 games are on the road.
-Miami has a brutal 20 game run ahead of them. 12 games are on the road and 13 games will be against playoff teams. They will face GSW x2, SAS x1 and OKC x1 during this span.
I expect the Hawks to have a 4-5 game lead in the SE division
