Brooklyn Nets vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. Despite the fact that Atlanta will rest some starters, we can’t expect them to just give this game away or change their winning habits. A team has to know how to close a game and Brooklyn, no matter the record, are one sorry bunch and the lack of quality is evident. Their recent victories came against the likes of New York, LA Lakers and Indiana. It’s not like they took down San Antonio. Or the Hawks. Nets vs Hawks Betting Pick: Hawks +5.5. Nets vs Hawks Predicted Score: 98-99
