The Brooklyn Nets will look to rebound from two tough blowout losses as they continue their road trip against the Atlanta Hawks this afternoon.
Both offenses look a bit out of sync right now, and that’s why I’m taking the Under in my Nets vs. Hawks predictions.

Nets vs Hawks prediction
Nets vs Hawks best bet: Under 228 (-110)
The Brooklyn Nets are among the slowest-paced teams in the NBA this year, averaging 99.3 possessions per game on the season.
We’ve also seen the Nets — already the worst team in the league in offensive efficiency — struggle mightily on this road trip, putting up 84 and 86 points in their last two games, respectively.
Normally, we could count on the Atlanta Hawks to lift the total, but they have hit three straight Unders themselves, averaging 107.0 points in that span.
With neither team putting up much offense, I’m taking the Under this afternoon.
Nets vs Hawks same-game parlay
While both teams have been struggling lately, the Nets are coming off two blowout road losses, and I’m looking to make that three in a row by taking the Hawks to cover in combination with the Under. I’ll also take CJ McCollum to hit his scoring total, as he’s hit that total in three of his last four games.

CJ McCollum Over 17.5 points
Our “from downtown” SGP: Johnson lends his wing
I’m banking on a big game from Hawks leader Jalen Johnson. I’ll take him to get Over 7.5 assists, something he’s done in six of his last seven games, and to hit at least two shots from deep, which he’s already done three times this month. I’ll also throw in a bet on McCollum to hit Over 2.5 threes, a number he’s cleared in back-to-back games.
