Atlanta at Brooklyn

The Brooklyn Nets floundered away much of their season, but the mediocre teams in the NBA Eastern Conference have left the door open for them, who would be a playoff team if the season ended today. The Nets have however, not been up to speed vs. elite teams, and just two games back lost to this same Atlanta team 131-99, and they also lost to Cleveland during their winning stretch drive 117-92. Atlanta has won their last two games by a total of 59 points, and have allowed 84 points per game in the process. The Hawks are 17-8 ATS vs. the soft Eastern Conference in their last 25, and the Nets have not gotten it done at home vs. elite road teams, those winning better than 60% of their road contests, where they are 7-16-1 ATS in their last 24. The Hawks are 4-1 ATS here in their last five. Lay the points on Atlanta.
