The Hawks (24-26) and Pacers (12-36) meet at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Atlanta has won each of the first two meetings this season, including a 128-108 win in Indianapolis back on Halloween, covering as a 2.5-point favorite while the Over (234.5) cashed.
These teams also just met on Monday in Atlanta, with the Hawks posting a 132-116 victory as a 5.5-point favorite while the Over (234.5) came through. The Hawks shot 50.0% (49-of-98) from the field, while going 42% (18-of-43) from behind the three-point line, while cashing in at a 94% (16-of-17) clip from the free throw line.

Atlanta was roughed up 104-86 by the Houston Rockets at home on Thursday, snapping a four-game win and cover streak. The Under is 3-1 in the past four games.
Indiana edged the Chicago Bulls 113-110 on Wednesday, winning as a 2-point underdog asthe Under (235.5) cashed. The Pacers have lost four of the past six games outright, and they’re 2-4 against the spread (ATS) in the span, too. The Under is 4-2 in the past six outings, and 9-3 in the past 12 games, while going 11-4 across the previous 15 outings.
Let’s back the Hawks laying the bucket, and we’ll go high based on the head-to-head trends, even though it’s been mostly about the Under for both teams lately.
And, for player props, let’s back Siakam to get to 20 points. He has managed 20+ points in eight in a row, and he is averaging 23.7 PPG on the season, and 24.4 PPG in January. We’ll also back Indiana’s Bennedict Mathurin to hit at least two triples. He had three treys against Chicago on Wednesday, and he had two threes in Atlanta on Monday, while going for two or more triples in five of his past six games.

For the player props, rookie Cooper Flagg has been on fire on the glass lately, posting seven or more boards in each of his past four games, averaging 8.7 RPG in the span. That’s more than two rebounds better than his still impressive 6.5 RPG season mark.
On the flip side, Rockets F Amen Thompson is averaging 7.7 RPG, and he has six or more boards in nine straight games. Let’s take both Flagg and Thompson to notch at least six boards.
