Shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic was the offensive standout of the contest for Atlanta, shooting 5-for-6 from beyond the arc and finishing with 30 points. For the season, Bogdanovic is averaging 14.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. 

The Hawks are 7-0 in their last seven games at home. However, Atlanta is just 1-7 against the spread in its last eight games overall. 

What you need to know about the Pelicans

Meanwhile, the sound you heard this past Friday was the absolute smackdown New Orleans laid on the San Antonio Spurs. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 64-33. The top scorers for the Pelicans were shooting guard CJ McCollum (20 points) and small forward Naji Marshall (18 points).

New Orleans has lost each of its last six games against the Hawks, but the Pelicans will be confident they can keep it close on Sunday. That’s because New Orleans is 9-2 against the spread in its last 11 games on the road.
