ATL vs BK Picks
NBA PicksDennis Schroder has converted 36.6% of his field goals over the last 5 games at home, 5.8% less than he's made overall this season on his home court. When it comes to shooting, the Brooklyn Nets's feeble 101.6 points per game rates lowest in the league over the last 10 games. The Nets have played at the 3rd-most sluggish pace in the league over the last 25 games while on their home court. This year, opposing clubs have grabbed 11.2 offensive boards per game (6th-most in the league) against the Hawks (preserving possessions that can produce more opportunities for offense). Over the last 20 games, opposing starting PGs have attempted 3.3 free throws per game (13th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Hawks, finding it difficult to draw fouls.
Saddiq Bey has been on the court for 32.5 minutes per game this year, seeing the court more than most players in the NBA: 87th percentile. The 3rd-quickest pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 15 games has been the Hawks. Offensive rebounds retain possession and lead to more opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Atlanta Hawks rank 1stbest in in the NBA with 13.0 offensive rebounds per game this year. The Nets have allowed the least offensive boards per game (7.9) in the league to their opposition over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).
