Nets vs. Hawks Betting Line – Game 5 NBA Playoffs
Gambling911.com has your Nets vs. Hawks betting line for Game 5 of the 2015 NBA Playoffs courtesy of our friends at BetDSI.com.
Brooklyn Nets 25-18 ATS on the Road
The Brooklyn Nets have been a decent bet on the road this season as they were 23-18 against the number in the regular season and they covered the first two games of this series in Atlanta. They lost by scores of 99-92 and 96-91. Oddsmakers had the line too high in Game 1 as the Hawks were 11 point favorites and it was still too high in Game 2 at 9.5 It would not be surprising if the line was more like 7.5 or 8 for this game on Wednesday. Both of the first two games in this series in Atlanta went under. The Nets were a good team to bet under the total in road games this season as 24 of their 41 road games during the regular season went under.
Atlanta Hawks 26-17 ATS at Home
The Hawks went 26-15 against the number at home during the regular season but they failed to cover the first two games of this series. The Hawks average 102 points per game and allow about 97 per contest. They went under the total in 21 of their 41 home games during the regular season. The Hawks scoring margin is only 5 points per game so it was surprising the number in Game 1 was so high. The Hawks simply are not a powerful team that is going to win big. The Hawks could be looking to close out this series if they won Game 4.
