Atlanta Hawks vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction

I don't want to back the San Antonio Spurs as much as the next guy but laying big chalk with the Hawks on the road is a no-go. Right when you're ready to believe in the Hawks, they let you down. The Hawks have lost 5 of their last 7 games, and they're 5-12 ATS on the season. It's Spurs and the points or pass for me. Don't love this game at all.
