Atlanta Hawks 2024-25 NBA Championship Betting
So far, for the Atlanta Hawks, fans, and gamblers, the 2024-25 season is more of the same. Last year, The Atlanta Hawks were a play-in team. Superstar marquee man Trae Young carried the Hawks to the postseason. But Young carries too much of the Hawks’ burden. Atlanta remains a flawed and incomplete team. Quin Snyder arrived as head coach at the end of last season with impeccable credentials. Previously, Snyder led the Utah Jazz into perennial contention during his time there. However, Synder is yet to crack the code. Atlanta is a tough sell to NBA future market bettors.

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.
