The Atlanta Hawks are off to a 2-0 start this season, but they are going to face their biggest test of the season tonight in Oklahoma City. The Thunder were con
sidered to be one of the NBA title favorites coming into the season and they have lived up to that hype through two games. Oklahoma City blew out Denver on Thursday and had a convincing win vs the Bulls last night. While they are on a back-to-back, it is early in the season and it is not going to be as big of a rest advantage for the Hawks tonight as it would be later in the year.Trae Young is off to a fantastic start to the season and has two straight games of at least 30 points and10 assists.
De'Andre Hunter was fantastic in the game against the Hornets on Friday. He scored 24 points on 7-14 and looked comfortable with the ball and was aggressive on offense. Hunter is going to continue to be in the starting lineup and he may be guarding Jalen Williams tonight. After a tough preseason, Hunter has bounced back nicely and is off to a good start.
The center position has seen Onyeka Okongwu play more minutes in each game and that may continue tonight. The Thunder are a better matchup for Okongwu and I think he is going to play more than Capela. Okongwu did not have another 28 point game, but he was still impactful vs Charlotte. Will this be the first game that Larry Nance plays this season?
