The last 15 games Atlanta net rating of +13.4. Net rating is the difference between offensive and defensive ratings points per 100 possessions. Minnesota is -10.4. Not only are the Hawks on a stunning 20-1 against the spread run but six times they covered by at least 12. By comparison, the Wolves have dropped three straight two by 23 or more straight up and 13.5 or more against the spread.

Again with the Hawks novelty, every home game is a playoff atmosphere and there is no overlooking anyone. Home favorites of 15 or more are 39-20 since 2011.
