What to Know

Having just played yesterday, the Atlanta Hawks will get right back to it and host the Brooklyn Nets at 7:30 p.m. ET on November 22nd at State Farm Arena. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The Hawks' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Tuesday after their third straight loss. They took a 157-152 hit to the loss column at the hands of Indiana. The loss came about despite the Hawks having been up 20 in the second quarter.

The losing side was boosted by Trae Young, who scored 38 points along with 8 assists and 3 steals. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn suffered a bruising 121-99 defeat at the hands of Philadelphia on Sunday. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Nets in their matchups with the 76ers: they've now lost nine in a row.

Atlanta has been struggling recently, as they've lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-7 record this season. As for Brooklyn, they bumped their record down to 6-7 with that defeat, which was their third straight at home.

Not only did the pair lose their last games, but neither team managed to cover the spread. Looking ahead to Wednesday, the Hawks are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 3.5 points. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a five-game streak of failing to cover when playing at home.

The Hawks lost to the Nets at home by a decisive 124-107 margin when the teams last played back in March. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Nets' Mikal Bridges, who scored 42 points. Now that the Hawks knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
