Premium Pick

It's hard to believe that this series is knotted 2-2. Atlanta dominated the glass 55-40 in game four, but couldn't hit the shots it needed down the stretch in an overtime loss. They are home and it's bounce-back time for one of the top teams in the NBA. Atlanta has great depth and firepower - #10 in the NBA in scoring this season, second in assists and three-point shooting. Even in the game four loss Atlanta shot over 48% from the field and hit 13 three-pointers, so they will have no trouble scoring tonight. The OVER is 7-3 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Brooklyn ranked just #18 in the league in points allowed during the regular season and #22 in field goal shooting defense. The Nets are 1-5-1 ATS when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. They are also 7-2 OVER the total when following a win and 11-5 OVER after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, so look for a one-sided win by the home team in a high scoring tilt. Take Atlanta and the game total OVER.
