LA Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks: Current situation
Quite a few teams in the Western Conference have been disappointing so far, but that cannot be said about the Clippers who are 19-15 and currently ranking 7th. That’s without a single minute of play by their best player Kawhi Leonard, who is slowly coming back into playing shape and is expected to make his season debut any day now. Depending on how he looks, the Clippers could be a force down the road in the postseason.
Atlanta is all about player development this season, but if they can get a decent position in the East playoff race they’ll take it. Right now they’re also 7th in their respective conference with a 18-16 record. They are one of the most inconsistent teams in the league, oddly enough they have accumulated more wins as underdogs than favorites this year.
LA Clippers Stats & Form
As soon as James Harden doesn’t play the Clippers collapse as a team on the offensive end. They’ve lost their last 2 games, scoring just 86 and 98 points vs San Antonio and Oklahoma City. Harden is currently bothered by a groin problem, but the injury isn’t severe and he is expected back any day now. As favorites the Clippers are 10-1 SU this season, so if the Beard plays they’ll be in a solid position to get the win here.
Atlanta Hawks Stats & Form
Atlanta just had a 4-game win streak snapped in Denver after a 139-120 loss. Efforts like that on the defensive end are unacceptable, it’s unrealistic to expect a win out of a game where you allow an opponent to shoot over 56% from the field and get 44 assists. There were some positives to take away from that game though, Atlanta got 12 offensive rebounds which is something to keep an eye on ahead of Saturday’s game.
LA Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks: Head-to-Head
There’s not much to separate these two teams over the past 10 meetings as they both have 5 wins during this stretch. In fact, the last 6 regular season series have been split between the two teams, we would have to go way back to the 2017-18 season to see the Clippers winning a regular season series. However, Atlanta does hold an edge in the all-time regular season win total with 82 wins to 50 by LA.
LA Clippers – Atlanta Hawks Odds
Going with the Clippers here gives you odds of 8/11, while an Atlanta road win will net you 11/8 odds.
The point total has been set at 235.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: LA Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks (04.01.2025)
You never know which Atlanta Hawks team will show up on a given night, but if there’s one thing we can count on here it’s their lack of effort on the defensive end. Bad habits on defense don’t change overnight, the Hawks have shown no desire of playing hard on that end through the first 35 games of the season. They’ll be playing their 2nd night of a back-to-back here, following a battle with the Lakers on Friday so there could be some tired legs out there. That will only increase the offensive output in this game, as the Clippers will be more than happy to increase the tempo. James Harden sat out the loss at Oklahoma City on Thursday, but his groin should heal in time for this one. Atlanta has no major injury worries at the moment either, Trae Young has been bothered by a hand issue but despite that he’s dropped 30+ points in back-to-back games. Atlanta is one of the most reliable bets in the NBA when it comes to backing the over. This bet has cashed 22 times in 34 games so far, so even against the Clippers who like to play defense it’s safe to say we are in for a high scoring affair. Denver just put 139 points past the Hawks a couple of nights of ago, in games with no rest Atlanta has allowed an average of 114.6 points per game. Don’t expect to see a lot of defense in this one, back the over.
