The last time the Brooklyn Nets visited the Atlanta Hawks, Mikal Bridges matched his career high with 45 points but the result was an overtime loss. This time, Bridges is coming off his fastest start to a game in his career, and the Nets hope to pair another productive night from him with another win Wednesday night when they visit the Hawks. This game was scheduled last week when both teams were eliminated from the in-season tournament. Bridges and the Nets are visiting Atlanta for the second time in two weeks. On Nov. 22, Bridges scored 30 of his points after halftime when the Nets trailed by 12 after one quarter and by 10 at halftime before taking a 147-145 overtime loss. Since Bridges made 16 of 31 shots at Atlanta, the Nets are 4-1 in their past five games. Brooklyn's only loss in that span was a 129-128 setback to the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday when they allowed 21 3-pointers. Bridges did not score more than 24 points in the first four games after the Atlanta visit before erupting for 42 in Saturday's 129-101 rout of the Orlando Magic. Bridges shot 12-of-20 and made 15 free throws. He put up 26 points in the opening quarter, the third-most productive opening period in team history. We like the Nets to do well and likely get the cover again here this evening.
