6* NBA *CA$H COW* on Hawks +1
The Key: Both teams played last night with the Lakers winning in Orlando and the Hawks going down in Miami. Playing on consecutive days should be a bigger issue for the Lakers, who are a much older team. In fact, the Lakers are 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes the previous day. Atlanta is 22-11 ATS the last 2 seasons in the second game of a back-to-back. The Hawks should be lacking no motivation here following last night's 17-point defeat. They should be further fueled by a 1-point loss in L.A. earlier this month. Atlanta is 9-1 ATS in home games off a road loss by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons. It has won by an average score of 101.8 to 88.0 in this situation. The Lakers are a public team and the public is really starting to fall in love with them after back-to-back covers. This is precisely the time to go against the grain as they are 3-13 ATS after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games over the last 2 seasons. Atlanta is 12-2 ATS in home games after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games over the last 2 seasons. Take the Hawks.
