Hawks vs Warriors: Both teams have lost the last two games
The Atlanta Hawks are visiting the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center on Wednesday night.
Atlanta has a long way to go
The Atlanta Hawks are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with an 18-25 record. After winning three consecutive games, the Hawks have lost the last two and are coming off a 122-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings. The Hawks shoot a league-high 93 field goal attempts per game but are ranked only 23rd with 43.2% shooting from the field. Trae Young leads the Hawks with 26.9 points and 10.8 assists per game, which ranks him second in the league. Dejounte Murray has 21.4 points per game and has led the Hawks in scoring in the last three games.
Life goes on for the Warriors
The Golden State Warriors were stunned by the sudden death of their assistant coach, Dejan Milojevic, and their last two games were postponed. Golden State is 12th in the Western Conference with an 18-22 record and is coming off back-to-back losses to the Milwaukee Bucks and the Memphis Grizzlies. The Warriors are fourth in the NBA in three-point attempts and made three-pointers and are ranked 11th, scoring 117.2 points per game. Steph Curry leads the Warriors with 26.7 points per game.
Betting Trends
The total has gone over in 4 of the last 5 Warriors’ games, in 5 of their last 6 home games, and in 8 of the last 11 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Golden State will play their first game in a week after their previous two games were postponed. This game will be more than basketball for them, and they will have to show character and move on with the season. Both teams have a lot to prove in the second half of the season and will have to step up their game up to book a playoff spot. The Warriors are not as good at home as they have been in past seasons, and the Hawks definitely have a chance in this one. This will be a matchup between two of the best shooters in the league, Steph Curry and Trae Young, and with the total point line set at 234 points, the Hawks and the Warriors will go way above it.
