Point Spread: Atlanta -10
O/U Total: 201
The Brooklyn Nets start their playoff series tonight against the Atlanta hawks after barely squeaking in as the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference. The Nets clinched the last berth by beating the Indiana Pacers. Unfortunately for the Nets they will now have a huge mountain to climb as they must get past the Eastern Conference’s number one seed the Atlanta Hawks.
Coming into the post season Brooklyn went on a huge run of 13-6 over their final 19 games. The play of Brook Lopez had a huge impact on this streak averaging 22.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. If the Nets want to get past this series Lopez will have to repeat his season performance over the entire series. Add in veterans Joe Johnson and Deron Williams, if they can play up to their past super star status the Nets just might pull it off. Johnson played seven seasons with the Hawks before coming to the Nets and in the last game against his old team he managed a 21 point performance game which kept it close. Brooklyn is 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games in Atlanta so they can’t be discounted to at least cover the spread here.
Atlanta scores an average of 102.5 points per game while only giving up 97.1, in contrast the Nets score an average of 98 points per game and gave up over 100 per game. Statistically the Hawks are better from the free throw line hitting 77.8 percent of the time to Brooklyn’s 74.8. Atlanta is significantly better both from behind the Arc and steals.
