Predictions for Thursday

The model suggests backing the Hawks to cover the spread against the Spurs (-1.5) in San Antonio at 8 p.m. ET. Notably, both teams are missing star players; Atlanta’s star Trae Young (knee) is out with an MCL sprain, while San Antonio will be without Dylan Harper and Victor Wembanyama (both calf injuries). Both teams are performing well early in the season, with Atlanta leading the Southeast Division and San Antonio second in the Southwest.

Projected figures note that six Hawks players could score 12 points or more, with Jalen Johnson leading at 22 points. The model suggests a close game where Atlanta is projected to cover nearly 70% of the simulation.
