Brooklyn Nets vs. Atlanta Hawks Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - December 28 | 2022-23 NBA Season

The State Farm Arena hosts this spectacle of a contest between the Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday (December 28) in NBA Regular Season action.

The betting odds and predictions are down below:

The Nets are scary. They continue on their terrorizing run of form, extending their streak to nine-straight wins. The Cavs were their latest victim as the Brooklyn side defeated them 125-117. They have beaten by two of the top four in the East in their last two games, claiming victories against the Bucks and the Cavs. With that latest result, they improved to a 22-12 record, climbing up to third place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Kevin Durant is putting up a strong push for the MVP award, scorching teams week in and week out. Over the last 16 games, Durant is averaging over 28 points per game, on a ridiculous 65% true shooting. Over that stretch, the Nets have gone 14-2, improving their overall record drastically.

The Hawks have been mediocre at best over the last month. They have only won four of their last 10 games as they arrive into this contest, facing the most in-form team in the entire NBA. They were defeated 114-129 in their last game by the Indiana Pacers. With that defeat, they fell to a 17-17 record, placing 9th in the East.

Trae Young continues to put up absurd numbers, even though he is in the worst shooting form of his career. He is averaging 27 points and nearly 10 assists a night while making only 32% of his attempted threes.
