Premium Pick

This is a rematch of Atlanta's 109-104 overtime win over the Trailblazers on Feb. 13 when both teams had horrible games on offense with the Hawks shooting 38.6 percent and Portland just 35.9 percent from the field. The Hawks won it at the free throw line making 37 of 48, compared to 14 of 25 for the Blazers in an ugly game. Atlanta looked just as bad in its 103-91 loss to Memphis on Thursday shooting only 40.8 percent overall and making only eight of 27 from three-point range. The Hawks made 10 more free throws, but it still didn't help as the Grizzlies won and covered as underdogs. Portland comes off an impressive 110-106 win at San Antonio as Damian Lillard scored 36 points, and the Blazers bounced back from their worst loss of the season. Atlanta is 2-7 ATS its last nine games and 0-4 ATS its last four games after a loss. Play the Trailblazers.
