The Hawks covered the spread in 44 of 82 games in 2025-26 and in none of the 11 they played against Toronto, Chicago and Charlotte. Any Hawks prediction against one of those three starts from that zero.
Three opponents, zero covers
Atlanta met the Toronto Raptors four times, lost all four and missed the spread in every one. Against the Chicago Bulls it was 0-3, three misses. The Charlotte Hornets lost once in four and still covered all four. Eleven games, no Hawks cover, and 9.66 units gone backing them to win.
