The Atlanta Hawks are looking to connect four wins together when they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night.

Atlanta saw its previous three-game winning streak end in Boston last week. Meanwhile, Brooklyn came back to reality with a 117-86 loss to Charlotte after beating the Kings.

The Hawks have won all three meetings this season, including 108-97 about a month ago.

The oddsmakers have the Nets as big home underdogs at the best betting sites on
Friday night.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday night’s NBA matchup.

Hawks vs. Nets Player to Watch

Jalen Johnson, Forward, Brooklyn Nets

Jalen Johnson has come into his own this season. The fifth-year forward has a career high 22.8 points per game, 10.3 assists per game, and 8.1 rebounds per game. Those all rank in the top 20 in the league.

Johnson only had 18 points in Orlando but did record 14 rebounds and 8 assists. Keep an eye on him tonight in Brooklyn.

Hawks vs. Nets Prediction and Pick

This is still an important game for Atlanta. The Hawks haven’t clinched a playoff spot yet, and they’re only 1.5 games up on the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.

They showed some aggressiveness last time out in Orlando with a big 29-point win, and I think they’ll bring that same intensity into Brooklyn tonight. The Nets are packing it in, as shown by their 31-point loss to Charlotte last time out.

Pick: Hawks -15.5 (-115)
