Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles head to Atlanta on a five-game win streak that has taken their record to 9-2.
The Lakers opened the season with three straight wins, before stumbling in late October as they dropped two of their final three games that month.
However, they have not tasted defeat since that 112-95 loss at Golden State on October 30.
Los Angeles won back-to-back home games to get back on track, beating Toronto 131-125 and Miami 138-117, before heading to Sacramento to down the Kings, 116-103.
The Lakers then made it five-in-a-row as they downed Portland at home, 124-118, and Detroit on the road, 121-116.
Atlanta Hawks Form
Atlanta come into this matchup on their best run of the season, having won four straight to improve to 7-4.
The Hawks opened with back-to-back wins, but quickly went cold and lost three straight games, before beating Cleveland at home 114-111.
They failed to build on that as they fell 121-99 in New Orleans, but they have not been beaten since that Halloween horror-show.
Atlanta rebounded on the road as they beat Indiana 108-104 and Washington 120-105.
The Hawks then returned home to make it four straight wins as they beat the Wizards in the rematch, 139-132, and Brooklyn, 124-121.
Verdict
Atlanta are in good form, but they have been facing weak teams and the last couple of victories required a big offensive effort.
The Hawks do not have the firepower to engage in a shootout with the Lakers though, and we are backing in-form Los Angeles to cover as they extend their own win streak.
