Free Betting Pick: Atlanta Hawks +2
Both of these teams have shown that they can slip into the backend of the standings and make the playoffs, but the Atlanta Hawks are an intriguing team as they have one of the youngest rosters in the league. The Atlanta Hawks were impressive during opening night as their PG Trae Young was a machine with 38 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds which is problematic for the Orlando Magic as their guard play is not their strength. Orlando will look to do the majority of their work in the paint, but the Hawks have a very good counter with John Collins as he is a rim-protecting forward who is a very good rebounder. The Hawks will look to get their 1st-round draft pick in Cam Reddish going as he went 0 for 6 from the field but returning back to his home arena should be a booster for his confidence. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Hawks win and cover ATS 118-110.
