Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks: Preview
The Hawks have four players on their injured list and not expected to play against the Raptors. They are Bruno Fernando, DeAndre Hunter, Mohammed Gueye and Vit Krejci.
Meanwhile, the Raptors have two players, Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl, out of their upcoming game. Otto Porter Jr. is marked as probable and will be a game-time decision.
Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks: Predicted lineups
With Immanuel Quickley out, Gary Trent Jr. is elevated back to starter status, joining Scottie Barnes at the backcourt. Thaddeus Young should start at center, while Bruce Brown and RJ Barrett are the other forwards.
Meanwhile, the Hawks should go with Dejounte Murray and Trae Young as their usual starting backcourt, with Clint Capela at center. Saddiq Bey and Jalen Johnson round up the starting five.
Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks: Betting tips
Rumored to be on the trading block, Dejounte Murray has continued to provide for the Hawks, as he's given 22.5 points on his NBA prop. He has gone over the mark three of his last four games and should go over here as well.
Meanwhile, with Pascal Siakam traded, Scottie Barnes has become the most potent scorer for the Raptors. He has an NBA prop of 23.5 points but has not gone over the mark in his last three games. So, it's quite risky to have him go over with the recent trend.
Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks: Prediction
The Raptors, as seen on the spread, are the huge underdogs. Expect a closer game, with the Hawks not covering the spread and the total going under.
