The Brooklyn Nets will look to rebound from two tough blowout losses as they continue their road trip against the Atlanta Hawks this afternoon.

Both offenses look a bit out of sync right now, and that’s why I’m taking the Under in my Nets vs. Hawks predictions.

Nets vs Hawks prediction

Nets vs Hawks best bet: Under 228 (-110)

The Brooklyn Nets are among the slowest-paced teams in the NBA this year, averaging 99.3 possessions per game on the season.

We’ve also seen the Nets — already the worst team in the league in offensive efficiency — struggle mightily on this road trip, putting up 84 and 86 points in their last two games, respectively.

Normally, we could count on the Atlanta Hawks to lift the total, but they have hit three straight Unders themselves, averaging 107.0 points in that span.

With neither team putting up much offense, I’m taking the Under this afternoon.

Nets vs Hawks same-game parlay

While both teams have been struggling lately, the Nets are coming off two blowout road losses, and I’m looking to make that three in a row by taking the Hawks to cover in combination with the Under. I’ll also take CJ McCollum to hit his scoring total, as he’s hit that total in three of his last four games.

Our "from downtown" SGP: Johnson lends his wing

I’m banking on a big game from Hawks leader Jalen Johnson. I’ll take him to get Over 7.5 assists, something he’s done in six of his last seven games, and to hit at least two shots from deep, which he’s already done three times this month. I’ll also throw in a bet on McCollum to hit Over 2.5 threes, a number he’s cleared in back-to-back games.

Nets vs Hawks SGP

  • Hawks -10
  • Jalen Johnson Over 7.5 assists
  • Jalen Johnson Over 1.5 made threes
  • CJ McCollum Over 2.5 made threes

He graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in Magazine Journalism and Political Science in 2003, and has covered major gambling events like the World Series of Poker in his career. Since joining Covers in 2022, Ed has offered his sports betting analysis primarily on MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball games, but is willing to take on any sport.

His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.

Outside of gambling, Ed is an avid curler who competes in mixed doubles on the World Curling Tour and runs a popular curling YouTube channel, Chess on Ice. That experience has come in handy during the Olympics, when he has proven to be a successful curling bettor as well. 

Ed's advice to new bettors is to always open multiple sportsbook accounts and check the odds at each before placing any bet. Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.
