Cbssports reports the Atlanta Hawks will host the Indiana Pacers at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Monday, with tipoff moved to 1:30 p.m. ET because of a winter storm affecting the area.

The Hawks are 22-25 and 10th in the Eastern Conference, while the Pacers are 11-35 and 14th. Indiana listed Quenton Jackson (ankle) and Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) as questionable; Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) and Zaccharie Risacher (knee) are out for Atlanta. Atlanta is a 5.5-point favorite, the over/under is 233.5, and the money line is Hawks -224, Pacers +185.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulated the game 10,000 times and is going Over on 233.5, projecting 236 combined points and the Over hitting in 53% of simulations. The model projects 11 players to score 9.5 or more points, with Pascal Siakam at 21.4 points and Jalen Johnson at 25.7, and says its against-the-spread pick hits in nearly 60% of simulations; SportsLine has published its picks and betting predictions for the game and the contest will stream on Fubo.
