AAA's EARLY *Hawks/Nets* Game 3 BLOCKBUSTER (+$20K NBA PLAYOFF RUN!)
(NBA) Atlanta vs. Brooklyn,
Point Spread: -2.50 | -105.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on the Atlanta Hawks.

Slow starts in Games 1 and 2 have seen the Hawks hold on for a SU victory in both, but unable to cover the spread in either. I think that changes tonight though and look for the under-performing visitors to comfortably pull away down the stretch for the ATS cover. Atlanta would lead by as many 16 in Game 1 before gutting out the 99-92 win after allowing the Nets to close to within four in the final two minutes. The Hawks also had a 12 point lead in Game 2 and would have to hold on for the 96-91 victory. Atlanta came into this series with some bumps and bruises, but players like Paul Millsap and Al Horford have clearly started to make some adjustments and I think the Hawks are just getting stronger at this point. I also think the Nets have to be feeling pretty lucky to have even put up as much as a fight as they've done to this point, as note that they've shot 45.2 percent, including hitting just 13 of 46 from long range so far in this series. Also note that Atlanta is 23-15 ATS on the road this year, while Brooklyn is just 17-23 ATS in front of the home town crowd. I'm not buying what the bookmakers are trying to sell here and am expecting a lop-sided rout, lay the short points on the HAWKS.
