On Saturday, the Denver Nuggets, who are currently in first place in the Western Conference, will be looking to complete their three-game homestand on a high note when they take on the Atlanta Hawks. Denver is coming off a win over Golden State on Thursday while Atlanta has won their past two games against Phoenix and Utah. This game marks the second meeting between these teams this season–the Hawks pulled out a 117-109 victory last time despite being shorthanded. The Nuggets have had success against the Hawks in Denver in recent years, winning the last two matchups. It will be interesting to see if they can make it three straight.
Nuggets starters Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon are questionable for Saturday nights game while the Atlanta Hawks are going in with a healthy lineup.
Looking into some trends, the Hawks have been hot against the spread on road game. They are 4-0 against the spread in their last 4 road games versus a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. As for the Nuggets, they are 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games following a ATS win and 1 and 7 against the spread in their last 8 Saturday games.
Depending on the injury for Jokic and Gordon, if they are a no-go, I’m taking the Atlanta Hawks to cover the spread at +6 for my free pick of the day. All is pointing towards the Hawks to cover, of course that is if both the Nuggets starters are out for tonight’s game. But if they are to play, this bet could go either way, so wait until these injuries are confirmed.
