The Hawks are coming into this game as a 1 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hawks have been playing very well in their recent games, they were on a hot winning streak before the loss in their last game but they have been playing so well recently they will be looking for a bounce back here. The Pacers have not been playing well recently and have been trending in the opposite direction as the Hawks with 3 losses in their last 4 games. The Hawks are still trying to fix their poor start to the season and to do that they will need to win some games on the road. The best bet to place in this game is on the Hawks to cover the spread here.

"It seemed like we had heavy legs throughout the night. They were physical defensively. You have to run through that contact. I thought we had some open looks we didn't knock down. Last night those shots were falling for us. Tonight they weren't falling for us. Defensively we never really established ourselves being able to guard their pick and roll. It seemed like we were running in mud most of the night." - Nate McMillan on his team’s loss against the New York Knicks on Saturday night.

 

 

"I think it's a game we should have won. We had some breakdowns. We had Myles (Turner) out, which is our defensive anchor around the basket. Despite all that, we still had a chance to win this game." - Malcolm Brogdon on their loss against the Timberwolves on Monday night.
