Hawks Have To Win Games They Should
The Atlanta Hawks are certainly in an interesting situation after making it to an Eastern Conference Finals a season ago. Most people expected that this team was going to be able to continue that dominance that they were able to find last season, but that certainly hasn’t been the case. However, Atlanta still does find themselves in the Eastern Conference playoffs at the moment and if they’re going to want to solidify that spot down the stretch, they’re going to have to beat teams that they know what they are more than capable of beating.
In the Atlanta Hawks’ most recent game, they were able to come away with an impressive 121-106 victory against a tough Los Angeles Clippers team. In that game, Trae Young led the way with 27 points.
On the season, Atlanta has the 15th rated net reading, the second-rated offensive rating, and the 27th rated defensive rating.
Pacers Looking To Keep Building
The Indiana Pacers have certainly not had the season that they were hoping for, but there have been some bright spots on this team including Tyrese Haliburton, who was just recently acquired from the Sacramento Kings during the NBA trade deadline. This was a great addition to this Pacers team and he has been playing excellent basketball ever since he has found his way with Indiana. Not only has he been playing great basketball, but the Pacers have also been playing better than they were prior to the trade.
In their most recent game against the San Antonio Spurs, Indiana was able to come away with an impressive 11-point victory as Tyrese Haliburton was able to lead the way with 19 points and 10 assists.
On the season, Indiana has the 22nd rated net rating, the 15th ranked offensive rating, and the 26th ranked defensive rating.

Free NBA Picks — Hawks vs Pacers
For this game, I like the Indiana Pacers to cover the +12.5 point spread. Indiana hasn’t necessarily been good this season, but neither has Atlanta. In my honest opinion, I do not think that the Atlanta Hawks should be giving 12.5 points to any team in this league. They have not been good enough at all throughout the season to warrant them getting nearly 13 points.
