1.88Tip and bets
Atalanta approaches the game with Denver as a clear favorite. According to bookmaker analysts, the visiting team will have little chance of success. And that true. Denver is currently experiencing major problems with its roster. And Jokic, as practice shows, is not capable of producing results even in matches with weak opponents. Moreover, only nine basketball players took part in the game with Washington. Without a full roster, Malone team is not capable of competing with strong teams on equal terms. The Hawks will have to achieve a victory over an opponent weakened by injuries.
Our prediction is Atlanta victory with a handicap of (-4.5) points, taking into account overtime at 2.00

Atlanta and Denver have shown good results in their personal meetings this season. The average score for the last ten games is 222 points. Everything points to the fact that this time both teams will be able to please fans with an attacking and spectacular game.
Our prediction is total over 242.5 points including overtime at 2.05
First quarter bet
Atlanta, there is no doubt, will do everything possible to achieve another victory on the spur of the moment after defeating the 17-time NBA champions. Snyder team will show from the first minutes that they are not going to upset their fans and will confidently take the lead in the score.
Our prediction is Atlanta to win in the first quarter at 1.82
