Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on 'Atlanta Hawks Over 105.5' for the Team Total Points is a sound choice considering the Hawks' recent scoring performance. Over their last five games, the Hawks have averaged 126.8 points, well over the 105.5 target. Even when looking at their scoring when playing away, they still average 117.2 points, eclipsing the target. Their record may be mixed, but their ability to score points consistently, particularly on the road, is not in doubt. Also, the model prediction of 117.76 points further substantiates the likelihood of the Hawks scoring over 105.5 points. Therefore, this bet is statistically justified based on the Hawks' high-scoring trend.

The bet on the Indiana Pacers to win in the Moneyline market is a solid choice considering their recent performances at home. Despite having a less favorable home and away record compared to Atlanta Hawks, the Pacers have consistently scored higher in the last 5 games. Their overall team score for the last 5 games is 122.2, which is lower than Hawks' 126.8, but crucially, their home score is higher (121), compared to Hawks' away score (117.2). This indicates that the Pacers tend to perform better at home, especially in terms of scoring. Although the Hawks have a better record against the Pacers recently (2-1), the Pacers' home advantage and higher scoring record at home make this bet a promising one. This bet is further supported by the model prediction, which favors the Pacers to win.

The bet on 'Indiana Pacers 2.5' for the Point Spread market is a good choice based on the statistical trends. First, the model prediction of 6.89 suggests that Indiana Pacers are expected to win by a larger margin than the point spread of 2.5, providing a cushion for the bet. Secondly, the Pacers' overall team score at home in the last five games is higher compared to the Hawks' team score when playing away, indicating a stronger offensive performance. Although Pacers' recent win-loss records are not as good as the Hawks', their scoring capability at home provides a strong basis for this bet. Furthermore, the Pacers' implied probability of 52.4% indicates that they are more likely to cover the 2.5 point spread, making this bet a statistically sound choice.
