It’ll be a rematch of Monday’s clash between the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors as the teams square off again, this time north of the border. Tip-off is set for 7:30 pm ET and I’ve prepared a same-game parlay which you can find below.

Atlanta Hawks 1-10 win margin (+210)
Over 110.5 Raptors total points (-108)
Parlay odds: +728
Atlanta Hawks 1-10 win margin (+210)
Revenge will be on the mind of the Hawks tonight as they lost to Toronto by 6 points earlier this week. That loss ended a 3-game win streak in head-to-head meetings dating back to last season when the Hawks swept the regular season series. Atlanta is coming off a big 124-115 home win over the Phoenix Suns with Trae Young scoring 43 points. For both teams this will be a 2nd game of a back-to-back scenario, with the Raptors wasting more energy in their game against the Bulls which went to overtime. Atlanta is 4-1 SU in their last 5 against Eastern Conference opponents, and their last 2 wins were decided by 9 and 8 points. I’m expecting a close game, but Atlanta ranks 2nd in offensive efficiency and they should have enough to outscore these Raptors.

Over 110.5 Raptors total points (-108)
The Hawks defense hasn’t been inspiring confidence at all lately. They’ve allowed 120 or more points in 3 of their last 5 games. For the season they are allowing an average of 111.3 per game, while on the road that number jumps up to 112 per game with only 7 teams being worse in that category. If we look at the last 10 meetings head-to-head, the Raptors are averaging 116.8 points per game on 45.8% shooting from the field. They went over 110.5 points in 7 of those 10 games and with the total going over in 5 of their last 7 games overall, there’s a good chance they can get at least 111 points in this game. They’ve scored an average of 116.7 points per game over their last 4 games.
