NBA board for Friday, October 23, 2026
Atlanta Hawks at Charlotte Hornets
Hawks win by 3 or more
Spread: the points they have to cover.
Ticket Atlanta Hawks -2.5
Charlotte is missing four players, including Coby White and Kon Knueppel. Atlanta is only without two bench pieces, so the card lays the short number with the Hawks.

How to read a pick
The bold line is the bet in plain words. The ticket line under it is the number from the source, when the source had one.
- Spread
- The points a team gets or gives. "Eagles win by 4+" is the same idea as PHI -3.5: that team has to win by 4 or more. A plus number means the team can lose by fewer than that, or win.
- Moneyline
- Who wins the game. No point spread. The price, like BOS -155, only says how short or long that win was on the snapshot.
- Over/under
- The total. Add both sides together. Over 2.5 goals means 3 or more. Under 2.5 means 2 or fewer.
- Parlay
- Two or more bets tied together. Every part has to hit, or the whole ticket loses. This board does not build a parlay for you.
- Lean, Like, Love
- Lean is a small edge. Like is a clearer read. Love is the strongest call on the board. No pick means we are not calling a side.
