Atlanta Hawks vs Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview

The Atlanta Hawks (6-7) are set to take on the Portland Trail Blazers (5-8) in a Sunday night matchup at the Moda Center, with tip-off scheduled for 6:00 PM ET. Both teams have had their struggles recently, each dropping 6 of their last 10 games, but they're coming off victories that could provide a confidence boost. The Hawks defeated the Washington Wizards 129-117 in their last outing, while the Trail Blazers pulled off an upset against the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning 106-98 despite being a 10-point underdog.

Atlanta enters this matchup as a slight favorite, with the spread set at Hawks -3.5. The moneyline odds also favor the Hawks at -170, translating to an implied win probability of 61%. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers are at +150 on the moneyline, suggesting a 39% chance of winning.

Portland may have a slight edge in terms of rest, having last played four days ago. This extra rest could be crucial, especially against a Hawks team that has traveled cross-country and across two time zones, potentially impacting their performance.

For those looking at player props, Jalen Johnson's Points, Rebounds, and Assists market is gaining attention. The current line is set at Over 33.5 (-110), and sharp bettors seem to be favoring the Over, believing there is value in this mispriced line.

Both teams will be eager to improve their standings, and this game presents a compelling matchup for bettors and fans alike. With the Hawks as slight favorites, it will be interesting to see if they can overcome the travel disadvantage and maintain their edge against a rested Trail Blazers squad.
