Even so, I like Trae Young to go over his point total as he rides a scoring surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Hawks vs. Nuggets same-game parlay predictions for Jan. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hawks vs. Nuggets predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"insights\"><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba\">NBA betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:104855\">Embed: #104855<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parlay: Nuggets moneyline + Over 241.5 points + Young over 21.5 points<\/strong> <strong>(+280)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nuggets moneyline (-215):<\/strong> On Dec. 8, Denver bounced Atlanta on the road, 141-111.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given how thoroughly dominant the Nuggets were in that game, I think a simple win on home court should be perfectly attainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver is 46-16 at home since the start of last season. All five of the Nuggets&#8217; home losses this year came against strong teams, who collectively have a .720 win percentage this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlanta (18-15) is solid, but not in the tier of teams that has pushed Denver at Ball Arena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nuggets have the sixth-best net rating in their past 10 games (+7.9). In the same span, the Hawks&#8217; net rating is +0.9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Over 241.5 points (-200):<\/strong> Regardless of who wins, one thing I expect from tonight is a lot of points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nuggets have the highest overs percentage in the NBA (21-10, 67.7%), per Team Rankings. Right behind them are the Hawks at 22-11 (66.7%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, Denver and Atlanta combined for 252 total points when they matched up in December. So although this is a hefty total \u2014 higher than any standard line across the league tonight \u2014 it&#8217;s one I know these teams can clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver has hit a 250-point total in seven of its past 10 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Young over 21.5 points<\/strong> (-143):<\/strong> Young only scored 15 points against Denver last month, but that&#8217;s an anomaly compared to his other recent output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>25.2 PPG in his past nine games<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>22+ points in 7\/9 games since Dec. 6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to this nine-game heater, Young had averaged 20.7 PPG over 22 games. Not bad relative to this line, but I&#8217;m also heartened by the recent uptick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young&#8217;s 3-point production has been key to his improved scoring, as he&#8217;s shooting 40.5% from deep over his past nine games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver should be a good matchup for him to continue firing. The Nuggets allow the seventh-most made 3s in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 1:10 p.m. ET 01\/01\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second time in less than a month, the Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks meet on the hardwood.
