Premium Pick

Atlanta leads 3-2, a series where the home team has won every game. Brooklyn was a home dog in games three and four and won 91-83 and 120-115. They are also on a roll, covering five of the last six. Atlanta heads out on the road and the Hawks are 1-6-1 ATS against the Eastern Conference, plus 0-3-1 ATS in their last four road games. Brooklyn has made this a series with tough defense. All of the games have been reasonably close, including an OT battle. The resilient Nets are 7-1-1 ATS following a loss and 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. Atlanta is a strong defensive team, too, and is 8-3 UNDER the total in Conference Quarterfinals games. Brooklyn needs to bring great defense again as their season is on the line, plus the Nets are 24-11 UNDER the total following a spread loss and 6-1 UNDER after a straight up defeat. Atlanta is just 1-4 ATS against the Nets and when these rivals meet the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. As a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the first-half, Atlanta is 27-11 to the first-half UNDER. They are also 19-10 UNDER in the first-half after a double-digit win and 11-1 UNDER after scoring 105+ points in back-to-back games. Take the points on Brooklyn, the first half and the full game UNDERs.
