Result: Push
The setup: The 21-16 Atalanta Hawks will play at Barclays Center against the 8-28 Brooklyn Nets. The Hawks enter on a six-game winning streak, while the Nets have lost six in a row.
Atlanta: This current win streak is the Hawks' second six-game run of the season, as Atlanta also won six in a row from Nov. 5-16, opening the season at 9-2. However, Atlanta then lost 14 of its next 20 before getting a 102-98 overtime win over the New York Knicks on Dec. 28, which began the current streak. Schroder (17.7 & 6.2 APG) has done a good job taking over at PG for the traded Teague but the jury is still out on Howard (14.0 & 13.3), who was signed after losing Horford to Boston. Millsap (17.7 & 8.2) is as steady as they come and the Hawks enter this came on a 5-0 ATS run, as they complete a four-game road trip.
Brooklyn: The Nets are still without PG Jeremy Lin (13.9 & 5.8 APG in 12 games, including nine starts) and his replacements are struggling to ignite the offense without turning the ball over. Isaiah Whitehead took his turn as the starting point guard on Sunday instead of Spencer Dinwiddie or Sean Kilpatrick and committed six of the team's 22 turnovers. "It's just errors, just bonehead plays, just not being myself when I have the ball, not being careful," Whitehead told reporters. "... It's tough to go from off the bench to starting and starting to off the bench because it's two different feels of the game. Once I learn how to do both, I think I'll do better at both of them." Brooklyn averages 17.3 and committed 22 Sunday to mark the 17th time the Nets gave it away at least 17 times.
The pick: The Nets are on a six-game losing for the second time this season and a loss on Tuesday will equal their longest skid of the year. Brooklyn is also 4-23 since Nov. 12 and has lost 11 of 12 since a 10-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers back on Dec. 14. The latest defeat was a 105-95 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers Sunday afternoon, when the Nets gave up 13 straight points to open the second half, after they held an 11-point lead at the break. Lin will likely miss his seventh straight with a strained left hamstring and the Nets are 5-19 when Lin does not play. Atlanta is 7-1 in the last eight regular-season meetings between teh teams and will look to sweep its four-game road trip, all against losing teams. Expect Atlanta to do just that but also look for the Under to cash (10*s).
