Washington Wizards vs. Atlanta Hawks Basketball Preview - 11-15-2024
On Friday evening at State Farm Arena, the Washington Wizards and Atlanta Hawks meet up in what could be an low scoring matchup; currently, the Over/Under is set at 240.5 points.
Washington stands at 2-8 this season and have lost six consecutive games after falling to the Spurs 139-130 in their most recent contest. Washington struggled defensively against Victor Wembenyama who scored 50 points. They will look to rebound against Atlanta Hawks.
Though recent struggles have plagued them, the Wizards are showing some positive signs. Their defense has been solid in two games while they possess multiple offensive options to contribute towards strong performances. Meanwhile, the Hawks remain among the worst teams when it comes to three point defense, free throw percentage and steals, which creates an intriguing matchup on offense between these two squads.
The Wizards will be without Malcolm Brogdon and Saddiq Bey for this game against Atlanta while Kobe Bufkin, Seth Lundy, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Vit Krejci and De'Andre Hunter won't be available either; leaving only Trae Young and Jalen Johnson as their top two scorers; Johnson is hoping to build on his outstanding 35 point, 15 rebound and 13 assist performance against Boston on Tuesday as an important component for this victory.
