Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on 'Under 268.5' for the total points in the Atlanta Hawks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game is a good choice, given the teams' scoring trends. Over their last five games, the Hawks and Timberwolves averaged 126.8 and 117.4 points respectively, summing to 244.2, well below the 268.5 threshold. Furthermore, even while playing at home, the Hawks' scoring average only increases slightly to 127.2, and the Timberwolves' away average is 115.2. Combined, these scores still fall short of the 268.5 mark. Additionally, the teams' defense statistics don't suggest a high scoring game either, with opponents' scores in the last five home and away games respectively averaging 124.6 for the Hawks and 110.2 for the Timberwolves. The model prediction of 229.78 further strengthens the case for this under bet.

The bet on 'Atlanta Hawks Under 129.5' points is a solid choice supported by statistical data. Firstly, the model prediction for the Hawks is 115.61 points, considerably lower than the outcome point of 129.5. This suggests the Hawks are not expected to achieve this high score. Additionally, considering the Hawks' last five games, both overall and at home, their average score is 126.8 and 127.2 points, respectively. Both are below the 129.5 points threshold. While the Hawks have been performing well, with a home record of 3-2, their scoring trend suggests they are unlikely to exceed 129.5 points in this game against the Timberwolves. Therefore, betting on the Hawks to score under 129.5 points is a statistically sound decision.
