Hawks -3.5

Hawks on a 9-game winning streak — longest active streak in the NBA and franchise-best since 2014-15. Since the All-Star break Atlanta leads the league in net rating (12.8), defensive rating (104.6), and defensive rebound percentage (76.3%). Magic are missing Franz Wagner (high left ankle sprain) and Jonathan Isaac (left knee soreness) — their two best defenders and Wagner is their best player. Line flipped from Magic -1.5 to Hawks -3.5, a 5-point swing, but -3.5 at home with this defense against a shorthanded Magic team should be -5 or more. Jalen Johnson has 12 triple-doubles this season.
