Pick #1:  Atlanta 1st Quarter -4.5(110)

The Blazers are probably the worst or second worst team right now with their current roster situation.  They are coming off a Win against the Wizards but the Wizards are a bottom feeding team too so it doesn't get much merit.  Atlanta are on the second night of a back to back where they let their guards down in the second half after putting up a hot start in the first half.  But are very much in the mode of every game is important. 

The Hawks have won the first quarter by 9 in their last two games while averaging over 30 points in the first over their last 5 games.  On this occasion, going against a team who will struggle to find points, lets just go ahead and back the hawks early so we don't risk the same situation as last night.
