Prediction:

This season, the Spurs selected the fourth overall pick, Victor Wembanyama, and after strengthening their lineup with veterans Paul and Barnes, their competitive strength has been steadily improving. The Spurs have maintained solid home-court performance, and against the Hawks, who have an average defensive ability, the Spurs certainly have a good chance. Expect the Spurs to defend their home court.

Pick: Spurs -1.0 (bet365)
