Atlanta Hawks vs Golden State Warriors Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 11/20/24

The Golden State Warriors have seen 3 of their last 5 games come in over the combined 240-point mark. Tonight’s encounter at home against the Atlanta Hawks should have a great chance of following suit. The visitors have really had issues stopping opponents from scoring, ranking 22nd in defensive rating this season. Trae Young continues to be a liability there that Stephen Curry and Buddy Hield should be set to exploit. The Warriors are after all 5th in the league in offensive rating. With both teams in the top 5 in the NBA in terms of pace, there should be no shortage of possessions for both.

Part of the issue for the Hawks defensively is the fact that they struggle taking care of the ball. They are currently 27th in opponent points off turnovers. The hosts have been terrific at getting out and running, being 5th in fast break points per game. They should be primed to turn the Hawks turnovers into scoring opportunities in transition. No team allows more 3-pointers per game than tonight’s visitors either. That is a dangerous situation for them, especially going up against one of the best shooting backcourts the NBA has ever seen with Curry and Hield taking to the floor. Back the over as a result.
