10* NBA Game of the Week
(NBA) Atlanta vs. Charlotte,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -105.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Win
The Hawks have won 10 straight in the series with two of the wins coming this season. While Charlotte will be motivated to end the losing streak, it will have a tough time covering the spread after playing yesterday in Milwaukee. The Bobcats are a terrible 17-41 ATS in their last 58 games when playing without a day of rest. Atlanta (29-35), eighth in the East and 2 1/2 games back of Charlotte (33-34), beat Denver 97-92 at home on Saturday to match a three-game win streak from Dec. 16-20. In their last game all five Hawks starters reached double figures, led by Paul Millsap's 24 points and 11 rebounds. They were outscored 39-13 off the bench and shot 40.7 percent, but they made up for it with a 14-for-32 mark from 3-point range. Atlanta has shot 44.1 percent from long range in its last four games. Charlotte is 2-11 ATS the last three seasons when seeking revenge for a close loss of three points or less. Atlanta seems to be putting it together and I like them in this spot tonight plus the 3 pts with the better offense.
