Key Stats
San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs are coming off a deflating loss last week to the Memphis Grizzlies, 128-109. Victor Wembanyama has been sensational in his second season he is averaging 24.6 PPG, 10.9 RPG, 3.7 APG, and is leading the league with 3.9 BPG. He is going to be great for a long time. De’Aaron Fox is making his Spurs debut in this game. They traded for him a few days ago, and he should be a great addition, considering we have seen him be a baller since being drafted. He and Wemby could be a dangerous 1-2 punch in this league.
Defensively, this has been a solid team. For the season, they rank 19th in points allowed per game, 11th in opponent FG%, 14th in opponent 3FG%, 1st in blocks per game, 24th in steals per game, and 6th in rebounds per game. This is a solid young team. Chris Paul is listed as questionable with a finger injury. Even if he is ruled out, they are deep in the backcourt. Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell are more than capable backcourt, and I didn’t even include Fox with those two. If this team can continue growing, this team will be a problem for years.
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks broke their eight-game losing streak last game after beating the Detroit Pistons. The Hawks are sitting with a record of 23-27 for the season and are 9th in the Eastern Conference. Trae Young has had a good season, averaging 23 PPG, 11.5 APG, which leads the league, and 4.6 TOPG, which also leads the league. Coming off a 34-point performance, he is looking to continue his hot streak. Dyson Daniels has been a great addition after being acquired last offseason. Daniels leads the NBA in steals per game with 3.
Defensively, the Hawks have been one of the worst teams in the NBA. They are ranked 28th in points allowed per game, 27th in opponent FG %, 26th in opponent 3-point FG%, 11th in blocks per game, 2nd in steals per game, and 9th in rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, Clint Capela has been ruled out with a back injury. He has missed the last four games; this will be his fifth straight. Bogdan Bogdanovic has also been ruled out, but he has been ruled out for personal reasons. Two key pieces to a below-average Hawks team.
Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs are going to beat the Atlanta Hawks and cover the 4.5-point spread in this game. Despite Trae Young having two good games in a row, the Hawks won’t be able to keep up with the Spurs. Wemby has a great match-up with Clint Capela being out. Okongwu has been great in his absence, but Wemby is a walking mismatch on both ends of the floor. With Fox making his debut tonight, adding a 25-point scorer to this team is massive. Wemby and the Spurs take over Atlanta as they cruise to a win against the Hawks.
