Hawks Struggling In The Great White North
If history is any indication, the slumping Atlanta Hawks may have a difficult time ending their current five-game losing streak when they visit the Toronto Raptors Saturday. The Hawks are 1-5 SU and ATS in their past six games at the ACC, a locale they will visit twice in the next two weeks.
Atlanta is averaging 90.8 points, which includes an embarrassing 68-point performance against the Utah Jazz. To make matters worse, Atlanta will be without Paul Millsap, as he is dealing with a hip injury that forced him out of the lineup Friday as well.
The Raptors have been on the opposite end of the spectrum, as they enter Saturday’s contest on a five-game winning streak while averaging 115 points. Kyle Lowry is in the middle of his best stretch of play all season, as the point guards has averaged 25.7 points while shooting 68.7 percent from the floor in the past three.
