Warriors Cruising to Covers vs Hawks
The Golden State Warriors are used to running through the rest of the NBA, but there’s one Eastern Conference team they’ve been extremely profitable against: the Atlanta Hawks. In Golden State’s last eight matchups with Atlanta, they’ve gone 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS. The squads will renew acquaintances Tuesday in Oakland.
Warriors’ sharpshooter Stephen Curry is listed as questionable for the tilt with an ankle injury, which should provide some relief to Hawks backers. “Chef Curry” is coming off three-straight 40-point performances including a jaw-dropping last-second three-pointer from way outside to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime on Saturday.
“We’re not going to do anything crazy, obviously,” head coach Steve Kerr told reporters regarding Curry’s availability tonight. “But if he’s healthy enough to go, we’ll play him.”
The Hawks’ stellar defense simply isn’t translating to wins over the last few weeks. Atlanta has the best defensive rating in the NBA (95.8 points per 100 possessions) in the last 20 games, however, they’ve gone just 10-10 SU and ATS during that span.
