Atlanta is off a bad home loss but has been a good bounce back team at 8-1 ATS after a defeat, plus they've covered five straight road games. The Hawks have talent, eighth in the NBA in three-point shooting behind top scorers Dennis Schroder and Taurean Prince, as well as top 10 from the charity stripe. John Collins has been impressive, ranking fourth in the league in field-goal shooting (60.6 percent), while guard Marco Belinelli leads the NBA in free-throw shooting at 95.4 percent and has made his last 26 attempts. Oklahoma City is a big favorite off a blowout win over Utah, but the team is on a 3-11 spread run. The Thunder are #29 in free throw shooting, #23 in points scored on offense. They are also just 5-14 ATS playing on one day of rest, so back the big dog. Play Atlanta.
