Game Preview
The Hawks are in excellent shape and have four straight wins. The latest was in Toronto against the Raptors, whom they defeated 136-107. Right now, the Atlanta Hawks have the fifth-best offense in the NBA, with 117.8 points per game.
Trae Young is the No.1 in the league, with 12.1 assists per game and 22 buckets. Though he has a lousy shooting percentage of 39.7% FG.
On the other side are the inconsistent Nuggets who are the best team in the world with Jokic in the lineup, and also, the worst without the three-time NBA MVP. They’ve beaten the Utah Jazz this Monday night, 132-121, on the road.

Hawks vs. Nuggets Prediction
Given the way these two teams play lately, this should be a high-scoring affair. The fact that the Nuggets focused solely on offense and that the Hawks are consistently producing high numbers on the offensive side of the ball forces us to bet on over 235.5 points.
