Spurs vs Hawks Best Bet: Spurs -4.5
San Antonio enters this matchup with a big-time addition set to suit up for the first time with his new team. Fox could be a difference maker, alongside Victor Wembanyama, who the Spurs have been seeking since they landed the generational talent with the No. 1 overall pick in 2023. The Spurs have all the tools to turn their season around and make a push for the playoffs, and their luck could turn around with a win against Atlanta on Wednesday. On the flip side, with the Hawks’ 2-8 record in their last ten games, it feels like this could get ugly for ATL, especially if San Antonio’s new star duo gels quickly.
Spurs vs Hawks Best Total Bet: Under 242.5
Both of these teams have the firepower to score at a high rate. In their first matchup, the Spurs outlasted the Hawks 133-126 in Atlanta, but that was with key players still on the court. With injuries plaguing the Hawks and the trade deadline looming, it wouldn’t be a shock to see this game fall under the set 242.5 total. A final score of 121-109 seems like a realistic outcome.
Spurs Best Player Bet: Victor Wembanyama 30+ Points Scored +220
In their last matchup against the Hawks, Wembanyama finished with a game-high 42 points as he looked like one of the most unstoppable players in the league. With Fox alongside him, it’ll only put more pressure on opposing defenses as they game plan to stop both dynamic scorers. Assuming this opens up even more opportunities for Wemby, I’ll take the odds on the French product having another big night.
Hawks Best Player Bet: Trae Young 4+ Threes Made
Trae Young is the lone driving force behind winning for the Hawks. As Atlanta continues to battle the injury bug, their star guard is doing all he can to keep his team in each matchup. With 30+ points and 4+ made threes in each of his last two games, it won’t be a shock to see him carry the confidence back home against the Spurs. Not to mention, Young will likely refrain from attempting to drive with an elite shot blocker like Wemby manning the paint for San Antonio.
