The Hawks are 0-6 ATS this season. You can keep riding the train if you want, but there is absolutely no doubt it is coming to a stop soon. I'm picking tonight against a Pelicans team that has not looked good and is down its starting backcourt in Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum.

Vegas is having a tough time figuring out what the Hawks are, which is understandable. They are 0-5 ATS and it hasn't mattered if they have been a favorite or a dog. But the Pels got their feet back under them at home Fri like we expected and Zion dominated, as we suspected, and I expect more of the same here. Hawks defense is as poor as ever, Trae Young chucking up too much junk and they seem very disjointed. Have allowed: 123, 133, 112, 128,120. Hawks being out-scored by 6.3/G, 24th in NBA. Three of Hawks 4 loses by 8 or more. Don't always exude fight. Hawks have worst 3-point D in the NBA. Tough way to go on the road doing that.
