Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks NBA Cup Preview
Since the start of last season when this roster started to come together, the Hawks are 6-3 ATS without Trae Young in the lineup, including 2-1 this season.
The Raptors have been much better since they started to slow things down after a bad start when they were pushing pace.
However, Atlanta has a real identity behind Jalen Johnson’s athleticism, and the Hawks play better defense on the wings with Young out.
This number has been steamed up from -1.5 to -2.5.
I make this spread right on the number, but I like the spot for Atlanta.
The Hawks rank third in halfcourt defense.
Atlanta tends to struggle in transition, but I like them to win and cover at home tonight.
