Atlanta carries the better scoring evidence and the stronger full-game and first-half leans, but Jalen Johnson's questionable ankle and several frontcourt absences are a real counterweight.
Indiana's best case is staying within the home handicap, while the totals lean under despite some high-scoring outliers.
Jalen Johnson's questionable ankle and Atlanta's several frontcourt absences could force a reshaped rotation against an Indiana side whose camp alignment was only tentative; that matters more to the matchup than the coaching continuity note.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
