ATS - HAWKS +8.5 (x1)

Rolling with Atlanta here tonight in Orlando in game 1. The Hawks ended the regular season terribly! Kissing 6 straight. But their position was never in doubt and had nothing to gain either so I'm not taking to much notice of that. What is interesting is in the four matches these two teams played this season, the Hawks won 3-1 SU as dogs and covered in all 4! They seem to match up well. With Collins now starting centre he will just be there to try an eliminate Howards presence and I expect Horford to be giving plenty of help. They will be out to frustrate the Big man and get him off his game. Atlanta has plenty of depth and points can come from many angles. This seems to worry Orlando. While I'm not sure Atlanta will win this one SU, they will be right in it! And 8.5pts is far to many for this one. Small play on the Hawks tonight.
