Now is the perfect time for fantasy basketball enthusiasts to sharpen their lineups with some solid betting picks. Zach Edey is projected to exceed 14.5 points and rebounds. Despite limited minutes, he has shown consistency with eight points and eight rebounds in his recent outings. His favorable matchup against Utah boosts his value for a potential breakout performance.

Another rookie, Donovan Clingan, is being looked at to surpass 17.5 points, rebounds, and assists against Cleveland. Having started all games since the All-Star break, Clingan offers a promising floor, especially with injuries sidelining key players. However, he needs to recover from a lackluster performance against Boston.

Onyeka Okongwu is also a key player to watch, expected to achieve over 23.5 points and rebounds. His impressive form has seen him maintain a strong double-double streak until recently. Facing the Rockets will be a challenge, but his ability to deliver solid stats makes him a viable option.

The NBA betting landscape is heating up, particularly with player prop bets starting to gain traction. Miles Bridges is a player to watch, with a bet over 23.5 points against the Atlanta Hawks looking promising. With the Hawks' forward lineup depleting, Bridges has seen increased scoring opportunities, averaging 29 points on 48% shooting over his past seven games.

Dyson Daniels’ defense is also under the spotlight; his over 2.5 steals bet against the Hornets is backed by his impressive steal average this season. Meanwhile, OG Anunoby's over 1.5 steals against the Trail Blazers at +126 odds looks appealing as Portland is giving up significant steals. Ja Morant’s assists line of 7.5 against the Jazz is intriguing, especially given his past performance. Lastly, Onyeka Okongwu has potential for rebounds against a poor rebounding Hornets team.

The Atlanta Hawks are on a roll, winning three of their last four games, with a recent victory against the Indiana Pacers elevating them to 7th place in the Eastern Conference. Trae Young and Caris LeVert were instrumental in this win, contributing a combined 62 points, with Young scoring 36 points despite leaving the game briefly due to injury. Young's health is crucial, especially with the upcoming matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, a game Atlanta should aim to win as they navigate a softer schedule ahead.

In addition to the offensive highlights from Young and LeVert, Onyeka Okongwu made a significant impact with a double-double performance, adding 16 points and 16 rebounds, showcasing his growing role on the team. The Hawks showed solid offensive depth, particularly in the paint, scoring 58 points in that area. As they move forward, the status of Young and Vit Krejci, both listed as questionable, will be pivotal for their playoff aspirations.

In a thrilling matchup, the Atlanta Hawks emerged victorious against the Indiana Pacers, despite facing a formidable opponent. The Hawks, coming off a close loss to the Bucks, managed a strong bounce-back performance fueled by a potent fourth quarter. Trae Young showcased his playmaking prowess with 22 points and 16 assists, while Onyeka Okongwu contributed a double-double with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Off the bench, Georges Niang led with 24 points, including four 3-pointers, making a significant impact in the game.

The Pacers, although missing their star Tyrese Haliburton due to injury, had Pascal Siakam putting on a dazzling display with 35 points. Despite Siakam's efforts, the Hawks found ways to clamp down on Indiana's offense, particularly in the final quarter where they outscored the Pacers 38-22. The victory places the Hawks solidly in the playoff hunt as they aim for a top-8 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Trae Young is set to play against the Milwaukee Bucks after being labeled probable. The Hawks rank seventh in the NBA for points per game, but have struggled defensively, sitting 27th for points allowed. Their free throw rate is impressive at second in the league, but turnovers remain a significant issue. Young's recent scoring slump makes it hard to predict a breakout against the Bucks, whose defense is anchored by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez. Meanwhile, Caris LeVert has excelled off the bench, and rookie Zaccharie Risacher has emerged as a shooter to watch.

The Bucks present a formidable challenge with their strong shooting stats, particularly in field goal percentage. Their defense has been effective, ranking second in field goal percentage allowed. The Hawks will need a strong interior presence from Onyeka Okongwu, who had a double-double against Milwaukee previously. Atlanta's recent success in the paint will be tested against Milwaukee’s size, especially with Giannis dealing with a calf issue.
