NBA free predictions from ASA – March 7th

ASA play on: Atlanta Hawks -2.5 @ Washington Wizards, 7PM ET

The first question I asked myself when I looked at this line was, why are the Hawks favored here? Atlanta was recently a -7.5-point home favorite over the Wizards at home and lost 116-119. That tells us this line should be a pick’em which means the oddsmakers are baiting us into betting the Wiz. Washington is in a tough scheduling situation here having played last night and on March 3rd and 4th. That makes this their 4th game in six days which rarely happens in the NBA. Atlanta is off back-to-back losses in Miami and have been solid when coming off a loss with a 19-14 SU record. Washington is 15-15 SU at home on the season with a negative differential of -0.4PPG. Washington’s starters saw heavy minutes last night in Detroit and they’ll have a tough time finding their legs in this one. Lay the points with Atlanta.

Play on: Atlanta Hawks -4 over San Antonio Spurs, 7:40PM ET

Two teams streaking in opposite directions – The Hawks have won 5 in a row, all by double-digits, San Antonio has lost 5 in a row by an average of 15PPG. Atlanta has the 5th best OEFF numbers in the NBA at 1.125PPP whereas the Spurs average 1.055PPP which ranks 25th. Defensively the Spurs rank 15th in DEFF, the Hawks 27th but in their last five games the Spurs have slipped to 26th in DEFF, the Hawks are 13th. The Hawks have some horrendous road numbers, but they’ve played a brutally tough schedule away from home. Of their 9 road games only 1 has come against a team with a losing record. San Antonio is 2-5 SU at home this season without a win over a team with a winning record.  Atlanta 5-1 ATS their last six as a favorite / Spurs 1-4 ATS their last five as a dog.
