The Atlanta Hawks are going on the road tomorrow night to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team with the best record in the NBA. Cleveland is 17-1 heading into tomorro's game and their only loss has been on the road vs Boston. This is going to be the first of two matchups this week between the two teams and ahead of the game on Wednesday, the Hawks have released their injury report.
Trae Young is questionable for tomorrow's game and Cody Zeller is out. Max Strus , Dean Wade , and Caris LeVert are out for Cleveland tomorrow night.If Young is out tomorrow night, Kobe Bufkin might be in line to start for the Hawks. Young missed a game vs the Celtics earlier this season with the same injury.
The Hawks dropped their third straight game last night in a 129-119 defeat vs the Dallas Mavericks and it was a familiar sight for Hawks fans. Atlanta has been the worst team in the NBA when it comes to opponent three-point attempts and opponent three-point percentage and that was a problem last night. Not only that but seemingly every game, role players have huge nights vs the Hawks or break out of shooting slumps vs the Hawks.
The Dallas Mavericks were on the second night of a back-to-back, having gone to overtime in a loss to the Miami Heat last night and they were without Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson, Quentin Grimes, and Dante Exum. This was a great opportunity for the Hawks to get a win at home to end their three-game losing streak, but they could not take advantage of the opportunity. There have been a lot of inexcusable losses this year for the Hawks, but tonight was one of the worst.
Dallas outscored the Hawks 68-52 in the second half and when a team is typically on a back-to-back, they can run out of gas in the second half. That was not true tonight. Irving scored 22 of his 32 points tonight in the second half, with 16 coming in the 4th quarter. Atlanta did as good of a job as you can early on guarding a great scorer like Irving, but he started making shots in the second half.
