Orlando at Atlanta

The Atlanta Hawks have defended the Orlando Magic well all season long. They have conceded to Howard and Nelson, but have gotten tight on the supporting cast. That has led the last four games (Nelson was out for the first two), to show the supporting cast at 54-177 from the floor for 30.5% and from beyond the arc, just 15-65 for 23.1%. These teams have really struggled offensively vs. each other with just 173.5 points scored per game in the six played this season. The series is knotted at one game apiece, and a pivotal game three means they both bring what they do best early - play sticky defense. As a result, I like this one to play UNDER in the first half.
