Atlanta Hawks 2024-25 NBA Championship Betting
After missing the 2024 NBA Playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks limped into the play-in round for 2025. It was the second season for head coach Quin Snyder, who arrived with a strong resume and a reputation for winning. Atlanta can’t escape its mediocre history, in which hovering around the .500 mark is the rule rather than the exception. The Hawks have not won more than 48 games since 2016-17 and have cracked the 50-win mark plateau only once since 2010-11. This year, the Hawks finished second in the putrid Southeast Division, which is an NBA eyesore. The Miami Heat eliminated Atlanta in the play-in round, 114-123.

Head Coach
Head coach Quin Snyder brings instant credibility to the Hawks. Snyder became one of the most respected head coaches in the NBA from his time with the Utah Jazz, where he served from 2014-15 through 2021-22. Snyder made the NBA playoffs in his final six seasons but lacked enough talent to contend with teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers. Snyder has a career record of 458-363 for a .558 win percentage.

Atlanta Hawks History
You might not think it, but the Atlanta Hawks are one of the oldest franchises in the NBA. They were founded in 1949 as the Tri-Cities Blackhawks and played in Moline, Illinois. The legendary Red Auerbach was their head coach for most of that first season, but they could not draw big crowds and left the area after just two years.
The franchise was unable to have much success in its next home either. The Hawks moved to Milwaukee and never posted a higher winning percentage than .380 during their four seasons there. That led to another move, and it looked like they had finally found their forever home in St. Louis.
The St. Louis Hawks made it to the NBA Finals four times in five years from 1957 to 1961. Bob Pettit was the franchise's first superstar, winning the NBA MVP in 1956 and 1959, and he led the Hawks to the NBA title in 1958. They continued to be a real contender throughout the 1960s. But the team was sold to a group from Atlanta that moved it there in 1968.
The Atlanta Hawks have been to the playoffs 35 times since moving to their current location, but they have never been able to make the NBA Finals. Atlanta has had some exciting teams with stars like Pete Maravich and Dominique Wilkins over the years, but the franchise has been unable to take that next step. The Hawks made the Eastern Conference Finals in 2015 and 2021, where teams with transcendent superstars defeated them.
