| NBA | (515) Portland Trail Blazers at (516) Atlanta Hawks: Spread | 6:10pm EST - Mar 1/2026 |
The PLAY: Atlanta Hawks -5.5 (-115)
The Blazers have been playing a lot of basketball lately. They lost at Charlotte yesterday and will now be playing their third game in four days and their sixth game in the past 10 days. On the other hand, the Hawks are well-rested. They last played on Thursday. While the Blazers have been traveling, the Hawks haven't left Atlanta in more than a week. Off three straight double-digit wins, they've been enjoying the home cooking. Schedule in their favor and playing some of their best basketball, the Hawks should avenge a January loss at Portland.
