I’m laying the points with the Hawks on Wednesday night. No arguing which team has been in better current form, but I expect the Hawks to salvage the final game of their 4-game homestand. Atlanta has dropped 3 straight at Philips Arena after winning 8 of their first 9. Not having Al Horford on the floor has certainly hampered this team’s progress, but I’m betting they’re catching the Pacers at the right moment. First of all, Joe Johnson understands he must pick up the slack and he has dominated the Pacers, averaging over 23 ppg in 9 outings. His team has covered each their last 4 home meetings with Indiana and they’re 8-1 SU in Johnson’s 9 career outings. Indiana’s starters had to spend some energy last night, holding on for a 5-point win over Utah. The Pacers enter this one having covered just 6 of their last 24 when playing with no days off between games. The Pacers stomped Atlanta in the most recent meeting, which puts the Hawks in a solid 55-27 ATS league-wide situation. You play on favorites when they’re in revenge of a double-digit road loss, providing both teams are playing .600 to .750 basketball. This is an important night for the Hawks and I believe they’ll come through with a spread covering win. I’m laying the points with Atlanta on Wednesday. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer (Accuwager.com)
