Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks Predictions, Picks and Odds for Monday, January 5 

Garima Ranawat

The Toronto Raptors will welcome the Atlanta Hawks in the second game of their two-game mini-series on Monday. The hosts, Raptors, enter the matchup off a 21-15 win-loss record, having recorded a blowout victory over the Hawks in their last meeting. The Hawks, on the flip side, are entering the gameplay off their eighth loss in the last ten games. 

The Raptors are 3.5 point home favorites with the moneyline at Toronto -162 and a total near 236.5. These NBA odds tonight lean towards the home side and give them a clear edge. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parley and some favorite player props for tonight’s matchup. 

Best Bet for Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks 

Best Bet: Toronto Raptors -3.5 (-114)
Book: Best Price at FanDuel 

Our best bet for Raptors vs Hawks is Raptors -3.5 (-114) against the spread. 

The Toronto Raptors dominate at home, and own a 11-8 record. They are amongst the top-five teams when it comes to allowing points to their rivals, as well as have one of the best defensive ratings in the league. Moreover, the Raptors also maintain a mid-rack offense in the league. On the other hand, the Hawks are struggling in defense, and are coming off a tough loss to the same counterparts. 

The spread at 3.5 looks accurate for the Raptors, given their recent win in the series. They cover home spots like this. 

Given the Raptors’ homecourt advantage, recent victory, elite defense and the Hawks’ low confidence, we are laying the 4.5 points and expect the Raptors to cover the number tonight. 

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks 

3-Leg SGP (Safer) 

  • Leg 1: Toronto Raptors -4.5 alternate spread
  • Leg 2: Brandon Ingram Over 23.5 points 
  • Leg 3: Scottie Barnes Over 9.5 rebounds 

Combined odds: +486

We have built this same-game parlay around the Raptors recording a convincing win at home. Brandon Ingram leads their offense with 22.3 points on an average, and is expected to take the charge against the Hawks again. Scottie Barnes leads the team in rebounds, and is likely to dominate the rivals. 

If the Raptors maintain their control at home, their stars will get more opportunities to fill the stat sheet. This is our safer SGP option.
