Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on the Hawks?
The Hawks have lost their last three games and will need to change their approach during the game if they want to beat the Nuggets this Friday. Playing in front of their fans could be a determining factor in the quest for victory, as the Hawks have been doing their best performances at home.
Clint Capela and Trae Young have been the main players of the Atlanta team, giving rhythm to the team and being essential in the victories achieved by the Hawks. Dejounte Murray is one of the top 3-pointers and whenever he gets good shots, the Hawks’ performance improves substantially.
Why Bet on the Nuggets?
The Nuggets have won their last three games and are one victory away from taking the lead in the Western Conference. The team has been at the top since the start of the season, due to the good winning streaks they have achieved. If they beat the Hawks, the Nuggets can reach four straight victories, a streak that the team won in early November, beating the Thunder, the Spurs – twice – and the Pacers.
The Nuggets are favorites for this clash but will have to withstand the pressure of an opponent who will play in front of their fans. Nikola Jokic is the most outstanding player on the team, but Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray have been supporting players with a lot of impact on the Nuggets’ way of playing.
Final Betting Analysis: Hawks vs. Nuggets
The Hawks have an advantage in confrontations against the Nuggets, but the current moment favors the visitors, who arrive for this duel after winning three consecutive matches in the competition.
The Hawks are still looking for a better position in the Eastern Conference and these home games are crucial for the team to approach the pack from the front.
The Nuggets have been having a very safe and regular season and, for that reason, our guess is for the Denver Nuggets to win.
