The Atlanta Hawks may be the surprise team in the NBA off to a crisp 16-6 start to the season. Atlanta has won nine straight games with a huge commitment to the defensive end of the court. The Hawks have snuffed out opposing offenses. Over their last five games they are allowed just a stingy 82.2 points per game. Teams on long winning streaks tend to keep their focus, and I certainly would expect that to be the case for this one. These teams played in Orlando last night and a total of 168 points were scored between the two clubs. The Magic has found the century mark in just one of their last 11 games as they continue to struggle offensively. That is unlikely to change as the Magic are now 23-3 to the UNDER in their last 26 games vs. a winning team. Play the UNDER in this one.
