The Hawks are still banged up with Jalen Johnson, Trae Young and Saddiq Bey all ruled out again, while the Trail Blazers are still missing Malcolm Brogdon, Jabari Walker with Jerami Grant listed as questionable. It’s hard to bet on either team these days, but you have to give the edge to the Hawks who were on a good run before being stopped in their tracks by the red-hot Pelicans in their last exit. The line is short enough for this one, so I’m sticking to the most consistent Hawks to get the job done on the road.
