Los Angeles Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Lakers Terrible on the Road
The Lakers are 7-16 on the road this season, including 1-5 in their last six games. They’re 14th in points (116.1) and 13th in defensive rating (115.6). Offensive rebounding has been a big problem for the team as they’re 30th in NBA rankings in that category with just 8.3 per game – the Hawks are first in the league at 13.1.
Los Angeles also desperately needs three-point shooting, which could be a particular area of concern against the Atlanta Hawks roster. The Lakers are 28th among NBA teams in three-point field goals per game (11.2), while the Hawks are eighth (13.5).
James is a game-time decision for the Lakers vs. Hawks odds and probably unlikely to play considering it’s the second half of a back-to-back with travel. Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish are also on the NBA injury report for the Lakers.
The Over is a Strong Bet for the Hawks at Home
The Hawks are hardly a sure thing to win at home with a 9-13 record, but they’re a high-scoring team and among the popular NBA picks today to hit the over when they’re on home court. The over has hit in 14 of the Hawks 22 home games this season, including in their last two games against the Raptors and Dallas Mavericks.
Atlanta is T4th in points per game (120.2) and 29th in defensive rating (121.8). Trae Young leads the team in scoring and is among the best NBA players in driving offense, averaging 27 PPG. Dejounte Murray, who is questionable with a hamstring injury, is second with 21.4 PPG. Murray missed the Hawks game on Sunday against the Raptors.
Atlanta has several other players expected to be out of the lineup for the Hawks vs. Lakers odds, including DeAndre Hunter, Mouhamed Gueye, Bruno Fernando, and Vit Krejci.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks Betting Picks
The Lakers are in tough here as they’ve struggled in recent NBA matchups on the road and could be playing without James tonight. The Los Angeles Lakers record is 2-3 without James in 2023-24 and was 13-14 last season. Los Angeles is also 2-5 in the second half of back-to-back games this season, so the Hawks moneyline is a good value bet in the Hawks vs. Lakers odds. The total has been over in each of their last five games, however, and should be again against the high-scoring Hawks.
- Moneyline: Atlanta Hawks -190
- Over/Under: Over 246.5 (-115)
