| TV: | NBA TV |
The Hawks are coming off a 107-104 win in Charlotte. Atlanta has a 5-5 home record, but 3-7 against the spread, with a -2-point differential.

The Pelicans look helpless and are the worst covering team on the road in the NBA this season, losing by an average of 18.2 points. Atlanta already beat them earlier this season by 15 points, so the value here lies with the home team and I expect a dominant Hawks victory in this game. Take the Atlanta Hawks and lay the points at home. Pick: Atlanta Hawks -10
