Seattle at Atlanta

Neither of these teams have had great seasons. Seattle has been 8-20 when away SU and Atlanta is 16-35 on the season. The difference is when you take a closer look at how these two teams have played ATS. Seattle has gone 3-13 in their last 16 games while Atlanta has gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. An interesting addition is that Seattle has gone 3-8 ATS when they have zero days rest and have gone 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games played. In the last 5 games played, the Hawks have scored more points per game and given up less points per game than the Sonics. Ray Allen is still scoring as he does every year, but he has no help around him. If he is contained, this game could be a blow out early and even if not, Josh Smith and Al Harrington will make sure Atlanta wins at home in front of their fans. These two forwards have been playing great basketball as of late and the Hawk's have had quite a lot of points coming off their bench which Seattle won't be able to handle. Take the Hawks giving the points in their home game tonight for two stars.
