Expert picks & predictions for Thursday’s Raptors vs. Hawks game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) expects Scottie Barnes to fill the stat sheet tonight: Scottie Barnes over 14.5 Rebounds and Assists (-117)
“Over in four of his last six, Barnes has a great matchup to be active on the glass and dish out some dimes. With the highest usage player for the Hawks being Trae Young, Barnes should be free to collect some additional boards. The Hawks give up the second most boards and 8th most assists to the SF position.”
