The Golden State Warriors have quietly won four straight games, even without Stephen Curry, and they’re at home against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night with a chance to push that to five straight.
Golden State has been terrific at Chase Center, per usual, this season. The team is 16-2 at home, but a shocking 3-16 on the road. A literal tale of two teams this season.
The Hawks, who have performed a bit below expectations so far this season, have lost three straight games and are just 6-11 on the road this season.
The Warriors are going to be down a few players, including Curry, in this game. Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman and JaMychal Green have all been ruled out for Monday’s contest.
Atlanta is looking to right the ship, and the team is just a 1.5-point dog in this game. Could an upset be looming at the Chase Center?
Here’s a look at the latest odds and a pick for this matchup:
Hawks vs. Warriors odds, spread and total
Hawks vs. Warriors prediction and pick
The Warriors are 9-4-1 against the spread as home favorites this season, and I like them to win this game outright and continue to climb up the Western Conference standings.
Atlanta has been much worse than its record suggests, ranking 23rd in the NBA in net rating and really struggling to play efficiently on offense (21st in offensive rating).
That’s going to spell trouble when you’re in Golden State, as the Warriors are No. 2 in the NBA in defensive rating at home and No. 4 in net rating.
Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson have both been scoring the ball at a high level lately, and the team has gone on this mini win streak without Andrew Wiggins.
Trust the best home team in the NBA to keep things going tonight.
