Atlanta Hawks vs San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview

The Atlanta Hawks, with a 14-13 record, are set to face the San Antonio Spurs, who stand at 13-13, in a Thursday night showdown at the Frost Bank Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET. Both teams come into this matchup with some extra rest, as the Hawks last played five days ago and the Spurs four days ago. This additional downtime could provide both squads with a chance to recharge and strategize.

Despite their nearly identical records, the Spurs are slight favorites at home, with a spread of -1.0. The moneyline odds are evenly matched at -110 for both teams, translating to an implied win probability of 50% for each side. However, recent performances tell a slightly different story. The Hawks have been on a roll, winning seven of their last ten games, while the Spurs have struggled at home, dropping four of their last five contests in San Antonio.

Atlanta's recent loss came against the Milwaukee Bucks, where they fell 110-102. Meanwhile, the Spurs are looking to bounce back from a 106-92 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves. As the game approaches, one player to keep an eye on is Clint Capela. His performance in the points, rebounds, and assists category has garnered significant attention, becoming a popular betting market. The current line for Capela's combined points, rebounds, and assists is set at over 22.5 (-110), with sharp bettors eyeing the over as potentially mispriced and offering value.

With both teams eager to get back on track, this matchup promises to be a competitive battle, as the Hawks look to leverage their recent form against a Spurs team aiming to defend their home court.
