Brooklyn at Atlanta

The New Jersey Nets went through a 10-game stretch this since in which they reached the century mark just once. But, the offense has come around of late. Over their last nine games they have topped the 100 point barrier four times, averaging over 95 points per game. That is a marked improvement from their 89.5 ppg in the previous ten, so things are heading in the right direction for this offense. The Hawks have put together two stinkers on the offensive end, scoring just 77 and 80 points in their last two games. But that's a good sign for the OVER here. Teams that score less than 81 points in two straight games, have come back in their next game to produce a 239-192 mark to the OVER. That is over 55% of well over 400 games which is very statistically significant. When facing a losing team the past two seasons, the Hawks have gone 31-19 OVER. Over that same span, they are 33-18 OVER folloing an UNDER. I like the OVER in this game.
