Lakers vs. Hawks: NBA Best Bets, Picks & Predictions (Friday)

Another 3-0 night in the books, as we move to just over 55% on the season as the halfway point is just about here. After a four-game slate last night that saw favorites go 3-1, let’s take a look at Friday’s slate as we kick off the weekend with some green. And here’s my pick for Lakers vs. Hawks.

Lakers vs. Hawks: NBA Best Bets, Picks & Predictions (Friday)

We head West for this one, as the Lakers take on the Hawks as both teams struggle for footing in the playoff race as the calendar turns to 2023. For the Lakers, quietly winning four of their past five games, all against Eastern Conference foes, they now find themselves just 1.5 games outside of the 10th and final playoff spot.

Still without big man Clint Capela in the lineup, the Hawks are floundering, having dropped five of their past seven games, stopping a four-game slide on Wednesday at Sacramento. With LeBron expected to suit up for this one, look for the Lakers to have enough to take this one at home.

Lakers +2.5 (-110)
