Prediction and Conclusion

De’Aaron Fox is coming off probably the best week of his career, as he scored a total of 109 points in the last two games. The Kings point guard again will need to take a lot of shots as both DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis are out. The Hawks, on the other end, will also miss a pair of guys like Bogdan Bogdanovic and Cody Zeller, but their impact is not as big as the Kings’ injured players. The Kings have won the last three games against the Hawks, and we are going with them with a straight-up victory once again.
