Las Vegas - Bouncing back on to the NBA hardwood down in the ATL tonight for a look at the Hawks/Blazers game. Atlanta has been on a nice run, wining eight of the last 12 overall and six of the last seven at home. The Hawks also know how to fill up the net and have gone OVER in six of the last seven and 12 of the last 16. Portland might be a smidge above water at home with a 20-18 record, but on the road it's an ugly 12-25 record. And where it counts, in the wallet, the Blazers are on an 0-4 run overall, straight up and against the spread. Portland is also on an 0-5 run on the road, so we're dropping a handful of chips on the Hawks.
