Clippers vs Hawks Preview
Los Angeles will travel to Atlanta on Friday night for a battle versus the Hawks. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Friday’s game, check out our Hawks vs Clippers preview below.
Atlanta Needs To Start Improving
There’s no denying that the Atlanta Hawks have played disappointing basketball this season after making it to an Eastern Conference Finals a season ago.
They are currently three games below .500 and just haven’t really been able to get anything going at all this season. Atlanta is going to be coming in after a loss to the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, 124-115. In that game, Trae Young finished the night with 27 points and 11 assists.
Atlanta is going to be coming in with the 14th rated net rating, the second-rated offensive rating, and the 27th ranked defensive rating.
Clippers Looking To Stay Hot
What the Los Angeles Clippers have been able to accomplish this season despite missing both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard for most of the year is certainly impressive. They find ways to get wins as they are currently 35-33 and hold the 8th seed in the Western Conference. The Clippers have been playing excellent basketball as of late as they have won seven of their last 10 games.
In the Clippers’ last game, they were able to come away with an impressive 115-109 victory against the Washington Wizards. Reggie Jackson was able to lead the way with 31 points while Marcus Morris was right behind him with 27.
Los Angeles is going to be coming into this one with the 19th rated net rating, the 27th ranked offensive rating, and the seventh-ranked defensive rating.

Free NBA Picks — Clippers vs Hawks
For this game, I am actually going to go with the Atlanta Hawks to win outright. Although this team has not looked great at all this season, I fully expect them to be able to get a victory at their home court. The Clippers are certainly a good team, but a team that is more than beatable.
Atlanta is coming off a disappointing loss to the Milwaukee Bucks where they just frankly didn’t play well. Los Angeles on the other hand is coming off a very impressive win against the Washington Wizards that was neck-to-neck for most of the game. This should be a good one, but I’m going with the Hawks.
