LiontipsAtlanta vs Denver. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Atlanta is in a poor home form once again. Nate McMillan's men can't find a victory at State Farm Arena for over a month already. Hawks lost five matches in this period. They suffered the most recent defeat to one of the main underdogs of the West - Houston (126:132).
We should note that Hawks won their most recent match. Two days ago they recorded an away victory over Orlando (111:99). Maybe this victory will gain team's self-confidence and they will put up a better performance at home.
Denver team is going to Atlanta after an unsuccessful home match against Minnesota. Nuggets failed to put up a fight to the Wolves and suffered a 107:124 defeat.
Mike Malone's men are not so successful on away matches. They usually alternate wins with losses. For example, after a victory over New Orleans (120:114) they suffered a defeat to San Antonio (111:123). Two days after they managed to get revenge on Spurs (127:112).

Tip and bets
At the start of November Denver recorded a home victory over Atlanta (105:96). Hawks will surely have some advantage at home, but it won't be an easy game for sure. In recent matches McMillan's men are in a shaky form, so we think that visitors will be able to put up a fight.
Our prediction - Handicap (+6) points for Denver
In recent matches both opponents scored many goals. In the previous home match Hawks scored 126 points. Denver also scored at least 111 points in recent away matches. We think that teams won't change the strategy this time.
Our second bet is on total over 219,5 points
