Atlanta Hawks vs Denver Nuggets Odds

Atlanta Hawks Team News

The Hawks have been in very bad form lately. They have been defeated 7 times in the last 10 games. The Hawks are an extremely attacking team that scores 125 points on average and are among the top 3 most efficient teams in the league. They depend a lot on the three-point shot and the game in transition. On the other hand, they are very undisciplined in defense and do not play team defense, more precisely, they receive the most points in the league at 132.5 points on average, which puts them in tenth place in the East with a 9-12 record.

The team leader is Trae Young, who averages 27 points and almost 11 assists. He missed the last match against the 76ers due to a illnes and is questionable for this match.

Bogdan Bogdanovic has been playing well lately, and he is having the best season in his NBA career. They have enough material under the basket to slow down Jokic in the 1 on 1 game, but they will need better team defense, which is very bad this season.

Denver Nuggets Team News

The Nuggets have been playing quite erratically lately, and are on a three-game losing streak. Those defeats and bad games came as a result of Nikola Jokic’s slightly worse form. Jokic first scored 22 points against the Clippers, with a very poor 9/32 field goal, and then he failed against the Rockets, shooting 9/26 from the field.

We expect a much better performance from him in this match and that he makes a key difference. Murray, who was absent for almost a month due to injury, is back for the Nuggets and is slowly catching up with his rhythm and recognizable form.

The key factor in this match should be the Nuggets’ defense, as well as the individual quality of Jokic and Murray. The Nuggets had offensive problems in the last two matches, but they played against two very good defensive teams. Against the Hawks, they will have many more open positions and we expect much better offensive production.
