After a couple of losses to put a halt to their streak of good play, the Atlanta Hawks will look to get back in the win column tomorrow night, but it won't be easy. The Memphis Grizzlies are coming to town and they are riding high off of a blowout win over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. Memphis has been one of the best teams in the league this season, but the Hawks have done well against the better teams in the league.
Trae Young is questionable, Onyeka Okongwu and Bufkin are out.Trae Young is questionable.Atlanta is currently 14-14 and has won seven of their last ten games and a big reason is the play of star point guard Trae Young. Young is currently leading the league in assists and while his shooting numbers are down compared to years past, he is leading the charge for the Hawks on offense and is making strides when it comes to playing defense..
The three-time NBA All-Star recorded 20-or-more points and 10-or-more assists in each of his last four NBA Cup games, including tallying a near triple-double against the eventual Emirates NBA Cup Champion Milwaukee Bucks on Dec. 14, finishing with 35 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in 40 minutes of action.
Through 26 games played so far this season, Young has handed out an NBA-best 314 total assists, on pace to lead the league in total assists for the third time in his career. The 6-1 guard is averaging 12.1 assists per game, on pace to become the first player since John Stockton in 1994-95 to average at least 12.0 assists per contest.
Behind Young’s leadership, Atlanta has won seven of its last nine games, the most victories by an Eastern Conference team since Nov. 27, with wins against the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers , the Los Angeles Lakers and road victories over the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks .
