Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks became only the second team this season who managed to stop Cleveland. And let's repeat that Atlanta did it twice - 135:124 at home and 117:101 away. At the same time, the Hawks haven't even reached 50% of wins yet and are currently only seventh in the Eastern Conference standings with a 10-11 record.

After two straight wins over Cleveland, the Hawks played one more game and won 107-104 away against Charlotte. Atlanta's top scorer in this game was Jaylen Johnson with 20 points. No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, Zaccarie Rizashe, had 14 points and is averaging 11.6 points per game on the season.

New Orleans Pelicans

While the Hawks are on a winning streak, the Pelicans have not won in a while. Willie Green's team has eight straight losses ahead of their road trip to Atlanta. In total, New Orleans has only four wins in 21 games since the start of the championship. The team from Louisiana is at the bottom of the Western Conference standings.

The Pelicans played their last game on the road yesterday against New York and were unable to offer any resistance to one of the strongest teams in the East - 85:118. It should be noted, in addition, that New Orleans strengthened in the status of the worst offense of the season - only 102.9 points scored on average per game.

Expert Betting Tips

Atlanta gained momentum and won three matches in a row, and given the two wins over Cleveland, this stretch can hardly be characterized as random. We believe that in the meeting with New Orleans, the Hawks will have no problem extending their winning streak. Not only are the Pelicans the worst team in the Western Conference and the weakest offense of the current season, but Willie Green's team will play back-to-back games. We bet on Atlanta to win in a low-scoring game, again taking into account the Pelicans' offensive problems.
