The New Orleans Pelicans and the Atlanta Hawks duel on Monday night at State Farm Arena. Here is a prediction for New Orleans Pelicans vs. Atlanta Hawks. This article contains a selection between New Orleans Pelicans and Atlanta Hawks.

New Orleans Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans have been in terrible shape, having lost 17 of their first 21 games, and they will be hoping to avoid a ninth straight loss after suffering a 118-85 road loss to the Knicks last night. CJ McCollum and Brandon Boston Jr scored 13 points each, while Yves Missi and Trey Murphy scored 11 points each. As a team, the Pelicans shot just 37 percent from the field and a measly four of 27 from the 3-point line as they got off to a horror start and never looked like they had a chance after scoring just 10 points in the first quarter, scoring just 28 Points in the first half.

Atlanta Hawks

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks are starting to heat up as they now look for their fourth straight victory, their biggest win of the season, after sneaking past the weak Hornets with a 107-104 road win on Saturday. Jalen Johnson led the team with 20 points and nine assists, De’Andre Hunter added 18 points off the bench, while Onyeka Okongwu contributed 16 points and 11 rebounds. As a team, the Hawks shot 48 percent from the field and 10 of 33 from the 3-point line as they appeared to be in trouble as they blew an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter before Hunter scored the team’s next goal Six points in the final minute to get the Hawks over the line. The Hawks then face the Bucks and Lakers.

Why the Atlanta Hawks will win

The Pelicans have lost each of their last 10 road games following a loss.

The Hawks have won eight of their last nine games at State Farm Arena against Western Conference opponents with a losing record.

The Pelicans have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight night games against Eastern Conference opponents.

The Hawks have evened the margin in each of their last five home games against Western Conference opponents with a losing record.

Total score facts

Fifteen of the Hawks’ last 17 night games at State Farm Arena have exceeded the point total.

Each of the Pelicans’ last four night games fell UNDER the total score.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Atlanta Hawks prediction

The Pelicans are still missing Zion Williamson, Jose Alverado and Brandon Ingram, while the Hawks expect to have Trae Young and Bojan Bogdanovic back in the lineup. The Pelicans have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league so far as they have been hit hard by injuries and their confidence must have reached a new low after last night’s loss to the Knicks. The Hawks have quietly played some of their best basketball of the season, and I think they can move on with another win and bolster the Pelicans’ struggling roster.
