LiontipsAtlanta vs. Toronto. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Atlanta failed to win the most recent match. The Hawks were beaten by the Boston Celtics, the best team of the Eastern conference at the moment. Nate McMillan's men were unable to put up a fight to the favourite (101:126).
But the Hawks shouldn't be underestimated. Before the match against Boston, Atlanta managed to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks (121:106).
The Toronto Raptors are still playing without some of their key players. Pascal Siakam, Dalano Banton, Otto Porter and Gary Trent are currently on team's injuried list. They will miss the next match as well. Their absence will decrease team's offensive potential.
Despite their problems, Nick Nurse's men managed to win their latest matches. Canadian team secured an away victory over Detroit (115:111). After that, Toronto managed to beat Miami (112:104) at home.

Tip and bets
Absence of key players will surely affect Toronto's performance. In this case, the Hawks have more chances for a victory. We don't think that the Raptors have what it takes to outscore the Hawks.
Our prediction - Handicap (-3,5) points on Atlanta
Three weeks ago, opponents managed to score more than 230 points in a head-to-head game. But some of Raptors' key offensive players will miss the upcoming fixture, so we might see a low-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total under 227,5 points
