Atlanta Hawks Betting Odds

The Atlanta Hawks reached the postseason in 2020-21 for the first time in 4 seasons and won 2 playoff series before losing to eventual champion Milwaukee. This was Atlanta's first conference championship series appearance since 2014-15. Coincidentally, Mike Budenholzer led that team on the sideline and picked up Coach of the Year honors. Budenholzer is now the championship-winning head coach of the Bucks.

Betting Atlanta Hawks Futures

Team Futures

An appropriate slot for Atlanta is 5th in the East. This is where they finished in the standings last season. The Knicks, Hawks, and Heat finished 4th-6th respectively in the East a year ago and were all separated by just 1 game.

A clear top-3 emerged in the Eastern Conference last year—with Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Milwaukee pulling away from the pack. There was a distinct dropoff after Milwaukee—forming another cluster of 3 teams (New York, Atlanta, Miami) who themselves were well ahead of the remainder of the conference.

Atlanta is well-established inside the top-6 teams in the East and should not fall further, especially since the bottom of the Eastern Conference is notoriously weak. The Hawks are given (+2100) odds to win the Eastern Conference title, which are the 5th-shortest in the conference.

The Hawks are the second-favorite in the East's Southeast Division (behind only Miami) to take divisional honors at (+125). The Southeast division contains the Heat, Hawks, Wizards, Hornets, and Magic—right there with the Central division as the weakest in basketball.

Individual Futures

Leading scorer Trae Young is (+2100) to win MVP honors this season, the 9th-shortest odds in the league behind familiar names like Giannis, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James but ahead of superstars like James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, and Zion Williamson.

Atlanta rookie Jalen Johnson out of Duke is tied for 11th-shortest Rookie of the Year odds at (+3400). Teammate Sharife Cooper out of Auburn is further down the ROY list at (+10000).
