It’s been an interesting couple of weeks for the Nets, who acquired G James Harden in a blockbuster trade while simultaneously dealing with the absence of PG Kyrie Irving. It hasn’t been profitable betting on the three-headed monster in Brooklyn as the Nets are just 2-4 against the spread since Harden joined the team.
Atlanta has beaten up on bad teams but is 4-1 straight up and ATS in its last five games, including a 108-99 win as a 6-point home favorite over the Los Angeles Clippers Tuesday.
The Hawks lost to the other three above-.500 opponents they’ve played in the past two weeks in the Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers and Milwaukee Bucks.
These teams split their earlier meetings this season, but the Hawks covered the spread in both games. Brooklyn won the first meeting in a 145-141 shootout, then Atlanta hammered the Nets 114-96.

Against the spread (ATS)
Since the beginning of last season, Atlanta has been the worst bet when playing on no rest: The Hawks are an NBA-worst 3-11 ATS with a minus-10.6 ATS margin in the second half of back-to-backs.
This is major because while Atlanta has a relatively clean injury report at the moment, they’ve battled injuries all season with key contributors at less than full health.
Also, Brooklyn has to be motivated by getting crushed in its last game against Atlanta. Now that The Beard has joined forces with Irving and SF Kevin Durant, this game will go differently.
GIMME NETS -6.5 (-110) for 1 unit.
Over/Under (O/U)
Brooklyn’s 98-85 victory over the Miami Heat in its last game broke a 12-game Over streak. The Nets have the second-highest Over percentage in the league whereas the Hawks have the highest Under percentage.
Atlanta is going to be pumped for this rubber match so I’m disregarding any of that “tired legs from playing the night prior” talk. The Hawks will at least try to D up the Nets.
Despite liking the Nets side, I leanUNDER 238.5 (-110) for a half-unit because this is too high of a projected total for how reliant Brooklyn is on three guys.

Penske Racing’s Brad Keselowski (+800) is the defending winner of this race, and he picked up checkers last season after starting from the 19th position.
The past three winners of the NASCAR Cup Series race in Atlanta have been in a Ford, with the three previous winners in a Chevrolet. A Toyota hasn’t been to Victory Lane in Atlanta since the AdvoCare 500 in 2013 when Kyle Busch (+650) raced to the win.Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott (+600) has drawn the pole position, as starting spots 1-12 were a random draw from charter teams in those positions in team owner points.The pole sitter hasn’t won in Atlanta in 18 Cup races dating back to Kasey Kahne (now retired) when he won the Golden Corral 500 in his Dodge March 20, 2006.Four of the past six winners in Atlanta have started in position No. 10 or lower in the starting grid.Stewart-Haas Racing driver

While a pole sitter hasn’t hoisted the trophy in Atlanta since 2006, ELLIOTT (+600) is always a good choice. He has been running very consistently since the restart of the season and has been in contention for every race since the return.
Elliott leads all active drivers with a 10.5 Average-Finish Position (AFP) in four starts in Atlanta, posting a top-5 run and three top-10 finishes. He has never ended up lower than 19th at the track.

KURT BUSCH (+1600) has three wins under his belt in Atlanta, while turning in seven top-5 showings and 14 top-10 runs in 28 career starts. Plus, he has a strong 14.9 AFP along with those 802 laps led. Father Time isn’t catching up with the veteran – he turns 42 in August – especially as far as Atlanta in concerned, as he leads all drivers with a 6.9 AFP across the past 10 starts at the track. That includes finishes of fourth, seventh, eighth and third over the past four runs.

KESELOWSKI (+800) is running with a lot of confidence, and is the defending champ of this race. He also won last week at Bristol for his second victory in the past three races. And remember, Ford has been to Victory Lane in each of the past three Atlanta runs, so …
Atlanta Motor Speedway prop bets
KURT BUSCH (-125) is almost a near certainty to finish INSIDE THE TOP 10, so play that. In addition, take the elder BUSCH (-115) over Jimmie Johnson in a head-to-head, best finishing position prop.
Another strong head-to-head play is ARIC ALMIROLA (-115) over Matt DiBenedetto. Almirola hasn’t exactly lit the track afire, but DiBenedetto just has never been able to figure the place out. In four Cup starts, DiBenedetto is 29th, 28th, 31st and 26th.
Atlanta Motor Speedway long-shot bets
Ol’ wily veteran MATT KENSETH (+6000) of Ganassi Racing is worth a roll of the dice here. He has never won in 29 tries in Atlanta, but has turned in 11 top 5s, 17 top 10s and he has led 363 laps in his career. He has an 11.93 AFP, best among all active drivers with at least five starts at the venerable, bumpy track.
If you’re looking for a REAL long shot to bet on, try DANIEL SUAREZ (+50000). He has three Cup starts under his belt in Atlanta, finishing 21st in his debut in 2017, 15th in 2018 and 10th in 2019. Of course, he is now in a more inferior machine, racing for Gaunt Brothers Racing in the No. 96 Toyota rather than his previous years with JGR and one season with SHR, thus the extremely long odds. But hey, it’s worth a $1 bet.
