Expert picks & predictions for Monday Timberwolves vs. Hawks game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) sees a rough night ahead for the Hawks’ 2024 draft class: Zaccharie Risacher Under 14.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)
“The Hawks top pick has struggled this season, and this will be one of the tougher matchups for the rookie. Risacher has grabbed four or less rebounds in 13 straight games and scored 10 or fewer points in five straight. I like Risacher Under 14.5 P+R down to 13.5 for +100 or better.”
