Sportsbooks For Atlanta Hawks

For all their faults and foibles, they remain one of the East’s five best teams. What’s more, the odd descent of the Cleveland Cavaliers could actually make the Hawks’ future odds, such as championship and conference gambles, more appealing.

The Cavaliers are still the ultimate Eastern Conference favorites. That was true even when the Hawks were winning a lot more than they are now.

Still, LeBron James’ crew is struggling. And if for some reason this is the year they fall off in the postseason, there are only a select few teams with the chops to beat them.

The Hawks remain one of those teams. They’re in direct competition with the Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat for that space behind Cleveland.

None of which is to suggest the Cavaliers are about to implode. But if you’re looking for a non-Cleveland conference play, make sure Atlanta is at least on your radar.

Is the spread too hard for Atlanta to cover? Is the over/under unfair given their opponent? Are they an underdog worthy of a moneyline play? Basically, this is the place where you should start each game day.

You at the very least have access to the types of opponents they’re playing, making it easier to decide whether the Hawks have an edge.

There are a few kinds of opponents that make the Hawks super attractive plays. Terrible teams are obviously right there—squads with bad offenses and defenses. Atlanta can rip them apart.

Bad offensive teams with great defenses are also a good play. The Hawks offense isn’t what it was, and that, coupled with their own defense, makes moneylines and unders a good bet in these situations.

This schedule also gives you a chance to see how they’ve fared against certain opponents and specific lines in the past, offering you an idea of what bets will and won’t be relatively sound investments.
