Hawks vs. Nets Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Saturday, July 11

Last season was one of change for the Hawks, as they ushered in a new era after trading away now-former face of the franchise PG Trae Young. PF Jalen Johnson and company made the playoffs and got bounced in the first round, but this team is brimming with upside.

Flemings is a big part of that, yet there’s more to this summer’s crew than him. Prospects like C Henri Veesaar, F Asa Newell, and F/C Zuby Ejiofor are all first- or second-year pieces that could turn into role players if things pan out to plan. 

The 2025 Hawks Summer League team went 4-1. In July, Atlanta posted a 2-1 mark in the Utah Summer League and opened the Vegas circuit with a 93-66 blowout triumph over the San Antonio Spurs. Newell led the way with 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.

The Nets’ youth movement showed in the Summer League last year, resulting in a 1-4 record, and it was also obvious during this past regular season. Brooklyn went just 20-62, the third-worst record in the NBA, as it focused on internal development. 

This offseason, the Nets made Brown the centerpiece of their haul, also landing F Joshua Jefferson later in the first round following a swap with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Brooklyn went 2-1 in the California Classic and also won its Vegas Summer League opener against the reigning champion New York Knicks 91-65.
