Reasoning
Trae Young is currently listed as questionable for the Atlanta Hawks match up with the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. The guard currently leads the NBA in assists per game, ranking up 11.9 per contest. Despite his best efforts, the team still ranks 24th in offensive rating over the last 10 games. If he misses tonight’s contest, the Hawks offense could struggle against a 10 top team in defensive rating this season. Young has however been a defensive liability and with Kobe Bufkin and Vit Krejci potentially picking up his minutes, the Hawks should see major improvement on that end.
While the Hawks have ranked 2nd in the league in pace this season, that can be largely attributed to Youngs style of play. Without him creating open looks or pulling up in transition, don’t expect them to play at a similar tempo tonight. The Cavaliers are in the top 10 of the league in opponent fast break points per game this season and should be able to force the visitors into a half-court offense. It’s hard to see the Hawks do enough tonight to help hit this over. The Cavaliers have seen each of their last 3 games come in under the combined 240-point mark and it should be more of the same here.
