Wednesday's NBA Free Pick: Atlanta Hawks -2

Atlanta is showing some incredible value as a small home favorite tonight. While the Hawks were recently upset at home by the Cavaliers 111-113, they are a respectable 5-3 on their home floor this season. The Nuggets are a completely different team when playing on the road. Denver is 5-1 at home this season, but just 4-8 on the road.

The Hawks won't have any trouble matching the Nuggets up tempo attack tonight, as they will be playing for the first time in five days. This Atlanta team had won six straight prior to that loss to the Cavs and will be extremely motivated to get back to their winning ways.

Atlanta is a solid 39-22 ATS (64%) in home games after playing 3 or more consecutive games at home since 1996. They are also a respectable 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a S.U. loss and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 vs the Western Conference. BET THE HAWKS!
