Atlanta Hawks Analysis

The Atlanta Hawks have been on a winning streak, winning 3 of their last 4 games, and averaging 123.1 points per game. Led by Trae Young with 30 points, four rebounds, and 14 assists and Bogdan Bogdanovic with 22 points, four rebounds, and five assists, the Hawks have solid offensive abilities, ranking #3 in offensive scoring. Whilst their defense may be weaker, giving up 122.9 points per game, they are making progress to maintain this momentum and continue winning. Memphis will be an important upcoming game in this streak.

Grizzlies Offensive Surge Sees Hawks Struggling for Home Win

The Grizzlies have won two consecutive games and have seen a rise in their offensive performance since the return of Morant. They boast an average of 115.5 points per game and have become aggressive on offensive rebounding, which gives them more scoring chances. The Hawks have been unable to mount a passable defense, allowing an average of more than 126 points per game when at home. With consecutive night games, they are likely to struggle against the Grizzlies' fatigue-free offense. The Hawks have lost two out of their past three home games and have seen an increase in points scored at home with an average of 125 points per game. Despite good rebounding, their careless display has led to easy scoring opportunities for the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have held their last three opponents to 110 points per game defensively. Taking these factors into consideration, the Grizzlies look the likely winners in this game.
