Why on earth are the hawks only favored by 2.5 points?

I know looking at previous years nj has had the upper arm in the series and josh smith is out but these hawks are easily a top 5 team in the east and those nets are a bottom 5 team...

I've already hammered the moneyline at -131 for my biggest play of the year...

clearly I've fallen into some sort of trap or am missing something... what's the deal?

I think the Hawks won like 11 road games last year

Hawks Record: 6 - 1 (.857)

PPG: 99.3
OPP PPG: 91.4
FG%: .449
OPP FG%: .413
RPG: 42.9
OPP RPG: 43.3

Nets
Record: 2 - 5 (.286)

PPG: 91.7
OPP PPG: 99.3
FG%: .418
OPP FG%: .447
RPG: 40.7
OPP RPG: 40.9

According to the stats Hawks should be favored by 7 points. The 2.5 given is a steal. Too much athleticism on Hawks side to run over Nets. And they play good defense too.

Whenever you see something and go "WOW, HOLY CRAP, LOOK HOW EASY THIS IS, THE LINES MAKERS ARE IDIOTS!"

Don't bet.

The hawks are 4-1 on the road this year with that loss being by 1 to boston... so them only winning 11 last year or whatever doesn't seem to carry too much value in my eyes, just as the nets playing them well in the past doesn't carry as much value (new hawks team/attitude)

and I figured it'd open at 4.5 (even though I have them winning by like 8) or so based on josh smith being out and it's starting to get bet up which makes me a tad more secure that they don't know something I don't...

everyone and their grandmothers look to be on the hawks though...

Harris might not even play, either. Pound it like you would a 17 year old virgin.

It looks like harris will play but he's nowhere near 100 percent, and it's a long season so who knows how much time he'll see...

this is what i saw:
"It's still sore, but I'm going to give it a go," said Harris in the New York Post. If you own Harris, go ahead and start him as usual.

Is this the same Harris that got hustled by a british street baller? I'm going all in on the Hawks. Bibby will embarass him.

I went to the Nets game the other night ad they are a bad team, I know they are ok if Harris plays and is 100% but Atl is the play
