After winning just 2 of their last 5, it’s hard to know which team will turn up. In their last game on Friday, they weren’t good enough against the Hornets in the 133-126 result.

Spurs San Antonio Spurs

In their last 5 games, the Spurs are 4-1 and looking to make it 5 wins in their last 6. They come off a huge 119-94 win over the Wizards and will look to continue their winning ways on Saturday.

NBA Same Game Multi Tips

Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Hawks against the Spurs.

  • 1st Leg – Over 244.5: Atlanta love a high scoring game at the moment and the Spurs have already got one over them this season. In mid-November, the Spurs scored 135 pts in a high scoring affair (135-126). Overall, the Over is 7-3 in the Spurs last 10 games and 4-1 when they play on the road. Atlanta are 5-0 against the Over and have scored 120+ pts in 4 of their last 5.
  • 2nd Leg – Hawks +4.5: Atlanta has covered in 6 of their last 9 games against the Spurs. Hopefully, this matchup goes down to the wire on Atlanta’s home court and that should help the Hawks keep the margin under 4.5 points. They also played in a 1 point margin in the last meeting in Atlanta.
