Portland Trail Blazers - Atlanta Hawks: betting tip (cf. 1.75) and bets on the NBA match

The start of 2026 is shaping up to be noticeably more successful for Portland than the previous months of the season. The team, which has suffered from instability for a long time, has won 5 of the last 7 matches, beating Houston twice (103:102 and 111:105), as well as defeating San Antonio (115:110). 

It is noteworthy that in the first half of January, the Trail Blazers scored almost as many victories as in the whole of December. This breakthrough allowed the team to rise to ninth place in the West and seriously join the fight for the play-in.

Atlanta has developed a curious pattern this season. In the absence of Trey Young, the team often looks even more balanced, although it would be wrong to call him a source of problems. Perhaps the exchange of the ex-team leader was the right decision.

It's worth noting that the Hawks have won 5 of the 8 recent matches. On a visit, Quinn Snyder's team managed to beat Denver (110:87) and Golden State (124:111). Atlanta is currently ninth in the East, but the density of the table allows the team to seriously count on a breakthrough up to the top five.
