Staff Prediction

The Hawks come into this one struggling as of late, having lost 5 of their last 6 games. Trae Young is still having an All-Star caliber year for Atlanta, averaging 27 points and 10 assists a game. The Kings have been one of the more surprising teams in the NBA this year, currently 5th in the Western Conference standings. The Kings have won 2 of their last 3 games but lost the last time they played Atlanta. The Hawks desperately need a win, and show that this game, pulling out the win. Take Atlanta to cover the one point.
