When long time San Antonio assistant Mike Budenholzer showed up in Atlanta in 2013, fans had to be hopeful that the years of mediocrity would change.

The Hawks went on to finish with the best record in the East a year later and Budenholzer won the Coach of the Year award. [+]

Atlanta Hawks Record

Even before coach Budenholzer came on board, the Atlanta Hawks were a perennial playoff team but could never reach that next step of getting through the second round, often getting upset in the first round. Those lacklustre performances brought on the coaching change and Budenholzer has already taken his team to the Conference Finals in his three-year tenure.

Therefore, you can expect the Hawks to be contenders to win the Southeast Division on a yearly basis over the next couple of years. The organization continually finds ways to adapt and reinvent themselves when players leave during the Budenholzer era and that won’t change anytime soon. They are a tremendous home team that went 27-14 SU at home in the 15-16 regular season (for moneyline bettors), and even found a winning record against the spread on their own floor with a 21-19-1 ATS mark during those games.

Yet, until this team does eventually take that next step and reaches the NBA Finals, they will always be a team that bettors tend to favour during the regular season and have no problem betting against come playoff time. That’s a tough reputation to shake without sustained playoff success, but Budenholzer is more equipped than most in this league to lead his franchise there soon.
