Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Lakers | NBA Predictions and Picks Today For 1/3/25

The Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers meet tonight in a pivotal non-conference matchup with each facing multiple injury concerns.

Here’s a breakdown of the game, including predictions and top betting picks from The GoldSheet.

NBA Game Details

Lakers Recent Performance

After their 114-106 win at Portland, the Lakers will now host a Hawks team tonight who had their four-game winning streak snapped at Denver last time out.

Anthony Davis missed last night’s game as it was Max Christie who provided the supporting role for LeBron James scoring 28 points off 9-16 shooting and James scoring 38 points on 15-25 shooting overall and 7-10 from three-point range.

Davis is listed as questionable for tonight’s game but we’re guessing the Lakers just held him out of action because it was the first leg of a back-to-back and will return against Atlanta.

Hawks Recent Performance

This is the third of six-straight road games for the Hawks who are 7-4 ATS as a road underdog but just 4-10 ATS against non-conference opponents.

Both our power ratings and game line have the Lakers as 3-4 point home favorites, but it’s worth noting that all of Trae Young, Jalen Johnson and Bogdan Bogdanovic are listed questionable with Johnson and Bogdanovic missing their loss to the Nuggets.

Hawks vs Lakers Betting Predictions and Picks

Lakers Moneyline (-155) or Lakers -3.5 (-105)

LA is on a current 8-3 ATS run so we’re going to side with them as home favorites with Davis expected back and likely one of the three Hawks players listed questionable to sit out with this being the first leg of a back-to-back for the team.
