Trail Blazers vs. Hawks Prediction & Pick

Trae Young (ankle) is listed as questionable for the Hawks on Monday, as is both Jusuf Nurkic (calf) and Josh Hart (hamstring) for the Trail Blazers. Those injuries are worth keeping an eye on ahead of tip-off. I lean toward the home team in this compelling matchup because of Damian Lillard, though.

Lillard is averaging 42.3 points to go along with 7.7 assists over his last three games and is shooting a ridiculous 63.2% from the floor during that span. Now the six-time All-Star gets to face an Atlanta team that ranks 19th in defensive efficiency and allows 118.3 points per away game (No. 22 in NBA).

Portland is 6-3 straight up in its last nine games against Atlanta, so rock with the Trail Blazers.

Final Score Prediction: Trail Blazers: 121 | Hawks: 115

Trail Blazers vs. Hawks Best Bet

This is a head-to-head series that has favored the Trail Blazers. Not only is Portland 6-3 straight up in its last nine games against Atlanta, but it is also 7-2 against the spread (ATS) during that span. All six of those victories came by a margin of at least five points, too. Lillard's squad a rightful favorite here.

Portland is 10-5 ATS in its last 15 home games, while Atlanta is 0-5 ATS in its last five games at the Moda Center. The Trail Blazers average 119.4 points per game and shoot 49.6% when at home, which are both top-10 marks in he NBA. Stopping that offense is going to be too much to ask of Atlanta.

Bet: Portland Trail Blazers -2 (-114)
