Game Preview
The Atlanta Hawks travel north of the border on Monday night to take on the Toronto Raptors. The Hawks have jumped out to a 4-2 record to start the season while the Raptors sit at 3-3 as both teams hope to earn a spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs again this year come spring. The opening tap for this matchup is scheduled for 7:30 pm EST.
The Atlanta Hawks come into this matchup with a solid 4-2 record but off of a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, 123-115. The loss ended a two-game win streak for Atlanta as they continue to adjust to an altered roster this season. The Hawks had a chance in this one, trailing by just three with the ball and under 30 seconds left but a turnover sealed the deal.
The Toronto Raptors have started the season at 3-3 and continue to develop up-and-coming players since their championship season back in 2019. Two players from that team, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet, have both turned into all-stars. On Friday night, in their second straight game against Philadelphia, the Raptors fell 112-90. While Siakam had 26 points and 10 rebounds, VanVleet went 0-of-11 from the field and scored just one point in defeat.
The Raptors have just the 21st-ranked 3pt defense and will have to find a way to slow down Young, who has thrived while sharing the backcourt with Murray. Both teams are extremely protective of the basketball with the Hawks 4th in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio while the Raptors are #1 in the NBA. In a game that will feature fewer turnovers than your average NBA game, the team that can put the ball in the basket at a much higher rate is going to come out on top.
The Hawks are a much more prolific scoring team than the Raptors. And while Toronto favors the 3pt shot and is 3rd in 3pt field goal percentage thus far, the Hawks have the 9th best 3pt defense in the NBA.
