The Atlanta Hawks have now lost two games in a row as they prepare for their final road game against the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco on Wednesday night. This game will continue our NBA odds series with a prediction and pick for the Hawks-Warriors matchup.
Atlanta (18-25) is suffering from the absence of Trae Young, who suffered a concussion during Saturday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dejounte Murray took up the slack in their Monday night game against the Sacramento Kings, scoring 35 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, but his supporting cast’s lack of performance was their undoing, as they lost 122-107 on the road. Taking on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors will not be any simpler. Young could be on his way back for this game, but if not, Murray and his teammates will have to compete at the Chase Center without him on Wednesday night.
Golden State (18-22) will return to action after two games were postponed due to the tragic death of assistant coach Dejan Milojevic after a Һeɑrt ɑttɑck. When the Warriors face the visiting Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night at the Chase Center, they will need to refocus and try to get back on track, despite their emotional state.
