Atlanta Hawks vs Toronto Raptors: prediction for the NBA match
Two extreme meetings were held on the territory of Toronto, but the hosts failed twice. In both cases the Raptors were slightly behind the opponent. Thus, two years have passed since the last victory of the Canadians and the entire 2021 remained with the Hawks.

Atlanta Hawks
We can say that the “Celts” are slowly returning to their previous level. Of course, the optimal form is still far away, but progress is noticeable and Aime Udoka can exhale to a certain extent. Boston showed class in the last meeting, when they declassed New Orleans on the road (107-97). The guests gave the opponent only one quarter, however, they controlled the course of events all the time. The Celtics climbed to the ninth line of the Eastern Conference and almost caught up with Toronto. There is clearly still room to move and grow. Ahead is a duel against the leader, but there are good chances to take points, as the Heat began to sag.
Toronto Raptors
Reptiles continue to alternate victories with defeats and, as practice shows, this trend will not lead to anything good. The team holds on to the eighth line of the Eastern Conference, but rivals in the face of the Celtics and Hawks are on their heels. Toronto showed character in the previous confrontation, because they managed to deal with Miami, although this required overtime (124-120). The opponents gave a lot of emotions and a real spectacle and Nick Nurse’s wards fairly won. Next in line is a duel against Atlanta, which has been extremely difficult to stop lately.
Prediction
In the last match Atlanta almost paid the price for its underestimation, but got involved in the fight in time. Of course, seven victories in a row is an excellent result, but you need to understand that fatigue gradually makes itself felt. Toronto is not afraid to go into battle and tries to get the most out of confrontations. The team is clearly not ready to give up and it seems that Nick Nurse's guys are able to teach the Hawks a lesson. Still, the opponents' playing styles are different, because the "hawks" are running forward and the "reptiles" prefer more restrained basketball, so we expect the hosts to face difficulties. Our prediction is the Toronto Raptors to win with overtime at odds of 2.31 in 1xBet bookmaker. Personal meetings were held in an attacking manner, but we should not forget that recently the Hawks have spent a lot of energy and the Raptors are acting on defense. In this case, the bet on the total under looks more relevant than ever. Second bet is for a total under 222.5 points for 1.62. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.31.
