Difficult sequel to the Golden State tour of the East, visiting Trey Young's Atlanta.
The Hawks make their final counterattack in order to push into the Eastern District eight and gain the right to a second chance in the Play-in phase. They have 5 victories in the last 8 games and they keep the physiognomy of the team that is ... whatever goes and whatever comes, since it counts 12 consecutive matches in which it succeeded and also received over 100 points. One of them was the defeat in Detroit the day before yesterday with a disappointing appearance, mainly in the defense sector. Overall, the team has been suffering defensively since the beginning of the season, with the team spirit it showed at last year's Playoffs being absent this year. Positive that they have no absences beyond the well-known for some days the main forward Collins.
For their part, the Warriors have fallen from second place after the three consecutive defeats they suffered before winning in Miami, they were overtaken by the terrible Grizzlies. The second place in the West is important, since a possible cross with the 7th or whoever comes out of the play-ins will be better than falling on the Nuggets of Jokic. In Florida they were very good and despite the absences of Carrie, Thompson and Green easily prevailed over their opponents based more on the great performance of Jordan Poole (30 points) but also the step-up of Wiggins and Cumming who had 22 points each.
The Warriors had a difficult week with two of the three defeats being marginal and of -at least- passable opponents. However, they showed the imperfections they have as a group in the victory over the Heat, while against the Atlanta air defense, the energetic replacements of the big-3 can create problems. They can overcome the absences they will have tonight, I get the Warriors +8,5 in the matchcombo of Stoiximan, Over 211,5 match points and Jordan Poole over 23,5 points with an odds of 3,20.
